Bold color. Strong silhouette. Pure 1980s glamour.
This striking signed Avon necklace and coordinating earring set is a beautiful study in contrast — combining luminous cobalt lucite cabochons with rich, faceted sapphire-blue glass stones, all framed in warm gold-tone metal.
The necklace features alternating round lucite cabochons and faceted glass stones, anchored by a dramatic rectangular faceted glass centerpiece. The double curb chain adds weight and structure, giving the piece that unmistakable 1980s power aesthetic.
The coordinating drop earrings mirror the necklace design with smooth lucite cabochon tops and faceted glass oval drops. While the earrings are unsigned, they are perfectly matched in tone, scale, and construction to the signed Avon necklace.
This is not a delicate set. It’s saturated, confident, and meant to be seen.

Collector’s Note
1980s Avon statement sets have become increasingly desirable, particularly when they combine mixed materials like glass and lucite. The presence of both smooth cabochon and faceted stones adds depth and dimension rarely seen in simpler Avon pieces.
Complete necklace and earring sets are far less common than single pieces, which adds to its collectible appeal.
