*Description: This is a gorgeous necklace by Vendome with matching earrings from the 1960s. There are fourteen strands of white seed beads with aurora borealis crystals in a variety of cuts all strung along with the seed beads. The necklace is so beautiful and would look lovely for any special event such as a wedding or formal occasion. The necklace and earrings are substantial in weight at 5.2 ounces due to the materials of glass and crystal. It would add bling to any outfit. This would be a great addition to your vintage jewelry collection or make a great vintage gift!
According to Julia C Carroll, of Costume Jewelry 101, she states, “In 1944, Coro began producing jewelry marked “Vendome”, the name of a city in France. Like Coro Craft, the name Vendome is associated with higher-end Coro designs. Most Vendome jewelry was produced after 1953. The head designer of Vendome jewelry was Helen Marion. She is responsible for creative designs that used crystals in innovative and beautiful ways.”
