Grape Leaf Jewelry Appraisal

Vintage White Enamel Grape Leaf Necklace and Earring Set

This is a vintage costume jewelry set, consisting of a necklace and a pair of clip-on earrings, both featuring a grape leaf and cluster design. The set appears to be made from a silver-toned base metal, likely an alloy, with a white enamel coating on the leaf motifs. Each leaf on both the necklace and earrings displays prominent veining patterns, adding a realistic texture. Attached to each leaf is a small cluster of raised metallic spheres, possibly representing grapes, which have a subtly textured or granulated finish in the same silver tone as the base metal. The necklace is constructed with a series of these enameled grape leaf and grape cluster elements, spaced out along a delicate, single-link chain. The chain itself is a thin, silver-toned metal, and it terminates with a simple lobster claw clasp or similar closure, which is visible at one end. The earrings are designed as individual grape leaf and cluster motifs, matching those on the necklace. They appear to be clip-on style, given the visible mechanism on the back of one earring, indicating they are for non-pierced ears. The overall condition shows some visible wear consistent with age and use, including potential minor tarnishing on the metal parts and slight discoloration or chipping on the white enamel, though this is not clearly discernible from the provided images. The craftsmanship suggests mass-produced costume jewelry, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, a popular era for nature-inspired designs and enameled finishes.
