Lot 40: A Vintage Mid-20th Century Silver-Tone and Blue Rhinestone Bib Necklace and Earring Set

A two-piece jewelry set consisting of a necklace and a pair of matching earrings, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The set is crafted from a silver-tone metal, presumed to be a base metal, and profusely embellished with faceted stones in varying shades of light and darker blue, appearing to be rhinestones or paste. The necklace features a graduated bib-style front composed of rectangular and navette-cut stones arranged in linear rows and floral-like clusters, secured by a spring-ring clasp. The accompanying post-style earrings mirror the necklace’s design with a clustered, multi-cut blue stone motif. No manufacturer’s marks or hallmarks are visible.
