Vintage Faux Pearl and Rhinestone Necklace with Matching Clip-On Earrings

This is a vintage parure consisting of a necklace and a pair of matching clip-on earrings. The necklace is a choker-style design, featuring a series of articulated, silver-tone metal links. Each link is designed with a textured 'leaf' motif, giving it a botanical or organic appearance. Embedded within and atop these leaf-like structures are numerous dark grey, lustrous faux pearls, varying slightly in size, generally appearing to be around 4-6mm in diameter. Scattered amongst the pearls and leaf elements are small, round-cut rhinestones in various colors, including clear, iridescent (Aurora Borealis effect), yellowish, and a few green stones, adding sparkle and visual interest. The necklace terminates with a silver-tone chain extension and a hook clasp, along with a dangling bead or charm near the clasp. The metal appears to be a rhodium-plated base metal, exhibiting some light wear and possible tarnish consistent with age, but no significant damage or missing components are evident from the provided images. The overall length of the necklace appears to be suitable for wear at the base of the neck. The matching earrings are clip-on style, circular in form, and echo the necklace's design with a cluster of dark grey faux pearls and mixed-color rhinestones set within a similar textured metal base. The construction suggests a mid-20th century era, likely 1950s-1960s, a popular period for elaborate costume jewelry sets. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality for costume jewelry of that era, with all stones and pearls securely prong-set or glued, showcasing a consistent design aesthetic across all pieces. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures.
