Classical influence meets mid-century glamour.
This vintage demi-parure features emerald-toned molded glass intaglios framed in warm gold tone — a refined nod to Greco-Roman cameos reinterpreted through 1950s costume jewelry design.
Sculptural. Regal. Balanced.
Design & Materials
Each teardrop medallion showcases a raised classical profile set against luminous foil-backed green glass, creating depth and subtle radiance. The necklace suspends from a delicate gold-tone chain, allowing the pendant to remain the focal point.
The coordinating screwback earrings mirror the pendant design and are topped with aurora borealis rhinestones, adding dimension and light without overwhelming the composition.
Unsigned, yet constructed in the style of mid-century European export glass work.
Era: 1950s–1960s.

Collector’s Note
Unsigned mid-century cameo glass demi-parures were often produced in limited export runs. The combination of figural intaglio molding, foil-backed saturation, and aurora borealis accents places this piece within the same collectible category as West German and Czech glass designs of the era.
Complete, coordinated sets in this condition are becoming increasingly scarce.
