    Description

    SCHOFFEL & Co Austria with 3 pronged Trident stamp to back of clip earrings, I can not find a stamp on the necklace.
    This had been tucked away for 70 years in a bed of cotton wool in an ancient box, was clearly a treasured piece, & reminds me of jewellery worn by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1950s.  The most staggeringly beautiful Schoffel set I have ever seen on eBay & can be accurately dated to the 1950s for they were not producing during & for a few years after the 2nd world war & had closed down production before the 1960s, it may be a pre war piece but I think not.
    A glorious vintage 1950s staggeringly beautiful set made up of an ornate collar & clip earrings,
    crafted out of bright glossy gold tone metal & entirely encrusted with prong set brilliant glimmering round cherry garnet red, & pale grey crystal flowers (which look like old diamonds ) & Marquise cut faux creamy opaque white Moonstone leaves, each piece being fully articulated. The collar sitting in a gentle "V" at the base of the throat.
    To give an idea as to scale, the earrings are 3cm (1.2") deep by 2cm (.6") in diameter, & in as good as immaculate condition save very light pitting to the golden finish to the earrings & the very slightest amount of wear to the gold-plate on the dangling extender chain to the necklace. I have never before seen anything in this design come up for sale on eBay, though saw the bracelet a few years back in a different colorway on an auction site.
    Excluding the 7.5cm (3") extender chain the collar is roughly 36cm (14") by 2cm (.6") wide, the gold plate is as good as immaculate, there may be a few minute pits here & there, with a clear 3 pronged Schoffel mark to the back of both earring. The collar fits so you have a continuous run of crystals, which in all likelyhood are Swarovski for only Swarovski could create faux gems Rubies & the like that actually looked like the real thing. This is spectacular.
