Bold geometry meets playful color in this striking mid-century jewelry set, designed during an era when costume pieces were meant to command attention.
Crafted in textured gold-tone open oval links, the double-strand necklace is punctuated by glossy green beads that add rhythm and contrast throughout the design. The elongated silhouette creates fluid movement, while the substantial construction gives the piece a confident presence.
The coordinating bracelet mirrors the necklace’s open-link motif and features a distinctive stacked-bar architectural clasp — a modernist detail that transforms a functional closure into a sculptural focal point.
This is statement-era costume jewelry — expressive, structured, and unmistakably vintage.

Styling Notes
This set thrives with clean tailoring or minimalist silhouettes. The 30” length allows it to be worn long and dramatic, while the bracelet adds a structured finishing detail.
Wear together for impact, or separately to add vintage character to modern styling.
Collector’s Note
Mid-century sets featuring coordinated architectural elements are increasingly difficult to source intact — especially with both necklace and bracelet preserved together.
The sculptural clasp and open-link geometry reflect the bold experimentation of 1960s–70s costume design, where form and structure were just as important as embellishment.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with minimal age-related wear consistent with period pieces. Gold-tone finish remains bright and the beads retain strong color.
