High End Brooch and Earrings Demi with 18mm Square Cut Antique Aqua Rivoli Stones!!

Look at the Fire in the Rivoli Stones--They're spectacular!

This Demi has given me more of a challenge than any other set of jewelry that I've ever possessed--But wow...what enjoyable grief it was!  I've worked my rear end off trying to find out who would make such an amazing piece of jewelry, and I've finally decided to give up.  I sent it through verification with the Juliana group, and it's not Juliana or DeLizza and Elster.  I've purchased and have gone through dozens of costume jewelry books, and nowhere have I ever found an exact match.  I've finally decided to give up, and leave it for a new owner to figure out.  It's good to have mystery in your life!

This stunning Demi consists of Brooch and Earrings. The Entire set is made up in a gold tone metal, with a built in pin assembly.  All stones other than the Rivoli Stones are heavily coated with an A/B finish...a finish so heavy that it's hard to determine what color they really are underneath, but I would guestimate that they are some shade of pink.  The wonderful 18mm Aqua Rivoli stone is also Aurora Borealis Coated, but not heavily, and you can see what seems to be the depths of the ocean when you look into them.

The Brooch is two layer, and is designed rather "Carousel"-ish with it's draped designs and Aurora Borealis stones on the second layer.  It measures 1 3/4" and is round, but the top layer gives it a bit more dimension.  There are two different sizes of A/B chatons in the brooch, and one 18mm Antique Square Cut Rivoli stone.  All stones are prong set.

The earrings are rather simplistic in construction, but again use the same sort of antique square cut Rivoli stone but in a smaller size.  The earrings measure exactly 1" round.  A single row of the prong set pink a/b chatons surround the fiery Aqua Blue Rivoli stone.  The earrings are clip backs, and the mechanisms are straight and work wonderfully.

Condition:  I grade this set to be in Very Good Vintage Condition.  There is minimal scratching on the finish, and all of the A/B stones are in great shape, finishes are intact.  The pinback is straight.  There is no green gunk or corrosion to be found anywhere on the set.  Don't miss out on your chance to own this great set!
