A matched set in deep oxidized silver tone, each piece centered on a round green moonglow cabochon — that particular mid-century lucite with its milky, light-catching interior that shifts between jade and emerald depending on the angle. The pendant hangs from an open scrollwork frame and rides a fine chain; the earrings repeat the same scrollwork in miniature with screw backs. Moonglow cabochons were widely used in American costume jewelry throughout the 1950s and remain one of the most collected materials from the era — the color in this set is especially vivid and intact. A complete, unworn-looking parure from a decade that dressed with intention.

Description
A choker of open, comma-shaped scroll links, each one turning into the next like a row of small waves. The brushed and grooved finish plays with light differently than a polished chain would, giving it real depth against the neck. This swirl-link style was a favorite of the mid-20th century, with makers like Monet producing close variations. A hook clasp with an extension chain and ball drop adjusts the fit at 16 inches.
