    I think some of the beads are a frosted type of glass, and others are plastic I guess. What do you call this type of jewelry set? Age, and I assume maker is impossible right!?;):p
    Thanks for your time.
    (Oh & sorry, pardon the dirt, they have not been cleaned yet).

    You have AB so 1950s at the very earliest - I think 60s. AB crystals on filgree brass backs, faux pearls and frosted glass. I've entirely forgotten what that shape is called.

    Tyeldom, you probably know this, but for keywords if selling I would put "parure" or "full parure". (I think a "grand parure" is when there is a brooch as well, so I occasionally see "demi parure" for a set like this, but what ever you do at least say "parure".)

    Other keywords, "ornate clasp", "4-strand necklace", etc. It does look like a nice set. A little bit different with that floral metal backing on the clasp. Are you sure there is no tiny name written on the hook?

    Very nice Lucilleb! Thank you for the help, much appreciated & helpful. I don't think there are any marks, but I will look again, thanks.:)

    I've a few bits with that sort of filigree back on earrings and other fittings. I've assumed, for some reason, that they're West German.

    That's so funny that you say that, because I don't know a whole lot about vintage jewelry, but I got the same feeling when I looked at them. I thought they may be German. Nice to know, I may be learning something!!:)

    I suspect it's based on having handled pieces that actually had a German mark on them. At some point. ;)
