Lucite Jewelry Appraisal

Green Orange Black White Lucite Vintage Necklace & Bracelet Sets

This lot features four pieces of vintage jewelry, comprising two matching necklace and bracelet sets. The first set, prominently displayed on a jewelry bust, consists of a necklace and a corresponding bracelet. Both pieces are crafted from various sizes of spherical beads in shades of green, yellow-green, and orange, strung together to form clusters. The necklace is strung on a green cord, while the bracelet appears to be on a black cord. The overall aesthetic is organic and somewhat playful. The second set, positioned at the bottom right of the image, includes a necklace and bracelet featuring spherical beads in black and white, creating a striking monochromatic contrast. These beads also appear to be grouped in clusters, strung on black cords. All beads appear to be made of Lucite, as suggested by the item's title, which gives them a smooth, glossy finish and a lightweight feel. There are no visible condition issues such as cracks, chips, or excessive wear on the beads, suggesting good preservation for vintage items. The cords appear intact, though their material (possibly braided nylon or cotton) and closures are not clearly discernible. The clustering of beads in varying sizes gives the pieces a textured, sculptural quality. Given the use of Lucite and the design aesthetic, these sets likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly 1960s-1970s, aligning with the 'vintage' description. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship appears to be consistent, with beads uniformly shaped and strung. The quality of these fashion jewelry items is demonstrated by their clean appearance and the deliberate color combinations.
