Vintage Gold-Tone Costume Jewelry Set with Faux Pearls and Rhinestones

This jewelry set includes a matching necklace and a pair of stud earrings, showcasing a design consistent with late 20th-century costume jewelry, likely dating from the 1980s or early 1990s. The necklace features a gold-tone snake chain that supports a central decorative station. This focal point is anchored by an oval-shaped faux pearl or cabochon set in a bezel, flanked by ribbed architectural shell motifs. Three small clear round-cut rhinestones add decorative sparkle—one positioned directly below the central stone and two flanking the outer edges of the shell accents. The matching stud earrings mirror this design on a smaller scale, featuring the same ribbed gold-tone metal and small white cabochons. The construction appears to be gold-plated base metal, typical of brands like Avon or Sarah Coventry. The condition is fair to good; there is visible tarnishing and some loss of the gold plating on the chain and earring posts, indicating wear and age. No hallmark is immediately visible in the image, but the overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-market boutique origin intended for formal or office wear. The set maintains a cohesive, classic aesthetic despite the light patina and oxidative wear on the metal components.
