What a rare find this set is !! Besides the fact they have original paste stones and settings, the chandelier earrings are a whopping 4" long! WOW.. These are the longest I have ever seen from that period. Originally rhodium plated these have patina on them and loss of silver. BUT who cares when you have a pair that is this elaborate!!!! True period pieces these are screw on and sold as is. The necklace is just fabulous and also has its original paste stones and has less silver wear than the earrings. I measures 16" long with an additional 2" drop for that fabulous deco design pendant. The necklace has its original fish hook clasp ( see photo). It has a marking on the back that I can't make out. Can you imagine the gown this must have been worn with back in the late 1800's? . Both have rich patina which in my opinion only makes me love them more. To think of all the times they were worn and adored.. Amazing....
