Vintage Faux Pearl and Gold-Tone Bead Parure

This is a two-piece vintage costume jewelry set, or parure, consisting of a single-strand necklace and matching screw-back earrings. The necklace features alternating round white faux pearls and ridged, satin-finish gold-tone metal beads. The necklace is constructed with a hook-and-eye closure and a classic extender chain finished with a decorative end bead. Each matching earring is a screw-back style, typical of the mid-20th century (approx. 1950s-1960s), featuring a small pearl and a larger hanging golden bead drop. Based on the U.S. quarter for scale, the faux pearls are approximately 6-8mm in diameter. The metal components show some signs of age-related patina and darkening, particularly on the extender chain and the earring hardware, which suggests they are made of a base metal such as brass with a gold-colored plating. The faux pearls appear to have a decent luster, though minor surface wear or 'peeling' of the nacre coating is common in pieces of this age. The overall construction is consistent with mass-produced costume jewelry of the mid-century era, likely intended for everyday elegant wear.
