Delftware Style Sailboat Pendant and Earring Set

This appears to be a vintage jewelry set likely consisting of a pendant with a chain and a pair of matching clip-on or stud earrings, all housed within a small, rectangular cardboard gift box with a light-colored, possibly velvet or felt, insert. The dominant design motif across all three pieces is a hand-painted or printed image of sailboats on water, rendered in classic Delft blue and white style. The pendant is oval-shaped, approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length, featuring a prominent sailing ship scene. It is encased in a silver-toned metal frame with a finely detailed, possibly embossed or etched, floral or scroll border, suggesting a decorative rather than plain bezel. The metal shows some signs of age-appropriate patina, but no obvious damage like dents or significant scratches are visible. The oval ceramic or porcelain insert is vibrant, and the artwork appears intact without chips or cracks, though slight imperfections in the painting may indicate handcraftsmanship. The chain attached to the pendant is a simple silver-toned link chain, matching the metal of the pendant. The two smaller pieces are circular, likely earrings, mirroring the sailboat theme and color palette. Their metal settings also appear silver-toned, consistent with the pendant. The backings for the earrings are not clearly visible, but their size suggests they are either clip-ons or studs. Given the aesthetic, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, possibly as tourist souvenir jewelry from the Netherlands or a similar maritime-inspired location. The overall condition looks good for its age, indicating it has been relatively well-preserved, perhaps due to being stored in its original box.
