Description
A ’30s or ’40s parure in an uncommon stone, then and now. The natural Chrysoprase stone is an intense and saturated apple green, enveloped by hand-fabricated 14k gold rose ’embroidery’ design throughout.
This is a dainty set, with the pendant at only 1-inch tall and the earrings just over half an inch. Photos allude to a bigger size, hiding the petite size of this set of Chinese export jewelry, which is likely to be so in order to appeal to the Western eye in those days.
The three-dimensional cabochon structure of all three pieces may not be apparent, but it is most lovely in its gentle bevel, and in such small settings. This parure set is in mint condition.
