Description
Lovely vintage-style jewelry set featuring a pendant necklace and matching teardrop earrings. The set is crafted in a darkened, antique-bronze tone metal with a detailed twisted rope and granulated texture. The focal point of the necklace and the earring toppers feature marquise-shaped settings encrusted with sapphire-blue rhinestones. Elegant Victorian or Gothic revival aesthetic perfect for formal wear or costume collections.
Key Features
Matching set (harder to find than single pieces), popular 'Vintage Revival' look, rich sapphire blue crystals, and versatile darkened metal finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely mass-produced boutique jewelry; absence of maker's marks is common for this price tier. Low confidence in 'brand' but high confidence in its status as 20th-century costume jewelry.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface wear on the back of the pendant; ensure earring backs are included as they are not visible in the photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (if listed as vintage), eBay, or Poshmark. Also performs well at local vintage flea markets or in curated 'antique' booths.
Selling Tips
Photograph against a plain white background to make the blue stones pop. Use keywords like 'Victorian Revival', 'Gothic', 'Art Nouveau Style', and 'Sapphire Blue'. Offer low-weight first-class shipping to keep total cost attractive to buyers.
