| .....HARDSHIP SALE*****LOOK THIS ONE UP IN THE REFERENCE BOOKS****THIS SET IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.A SHOW STOPPER...EYE KNOCKER....TALK OF THE TOWN PIECE..............JUST LOOK AT THOSE PIECES...THE OXIDIZED BRASS(I BELIEVE IT IS OXIDIZED BRASS) FRAMEWORK IS STUNNING AND HEAVY. THE FOILBACKED COBACHONE STONES ARE IN EVERY COLOR OF THE RAINBOW AND ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I SEARCHED FOR A HALLMARK FEELING CERTAIN THAT IT WAS A HOBE....BUT I CANNOT FIND ONE....BUT SOME OF THE EARLIER ONES WEREN'T MARKED. THIS DESIGN AND STYLE IS TYPICAL OF THE EGYPTIAN REVIVAL PERIOD AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE...AND I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED IF THIS WERE A REPRODUCTION.......NOW!!!!ARE YOU READY?THE CLINCHER IS THE VERSATILITY OF THIS SET. IT IS UNIQUE....WEAR IT AS A SIMPLE 17 INCH NECKLACE AND TWO 7 INCH BRACELETS OR WEAR IT AS A CHOKER AND ANOTHER NECKLACE....OR WEAR IS A LONGER NECKLACE AND 1 BRACELET...OR IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A SMALL WAIST....A BELT (31 INCHES TOTAL LENGHT OF THREE PIECES TOGETHER).....WOULD LOOK GREAT WITH A STUNNING SHEATH DRESS.....WELL? YOU ARE LIMITED ONLY BY YOUR IMAGINATION....A REAL DESIGN STATEMENT.....I HAVE BEEN LOOKING THROUGH ALL OF THE REFERENCE BOOKS AND I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR IN STYLE AND DESIGN....I.E. GEOMETRIC - FOIL BACK ASSORTMENT OF COLORED STONES...ETC....AND FIND MANY VALUED FROM A LOW OF 1000.00 TO A HIGH OF 3000.00 AND THESE ARE UNMARKED BEAUTIES....MY REFERENCE BOOKS ARE THE 'BEST OF COSTUME JEWELERY BY NANCY SCHIFFER - WARMAN'S JEWELRY BY CHRISTIE ROMERO - COSTUME JEWELRY /THE FUN OF COLLECTING BY NANCY SCHIFFER ' AMONG OTHERS.
