Vintage Italian Spezzati Branch Coral Grapes Necklace and Earring Set
This breathtaking vintage spezzati coral necklace and screw back earring set dates from the mid 1950's. Composed of natural coral branches that graduate in size from the clasp to the drop, the necklace features a brass medallion of ornate floral design that overlays yet more long coral branches. The base of the medallion is a grape cluster design. The clasp is an ornate open design brass push in closure that hold securely. The choker length necklace measures 14 1/2". The matching screw back earrings echo the same design and the mechanism hold securely. They measure 1 5/8 by 7/8". This fabulous vintage set is in excellent condition. Although I have seen these pieces attributed to DeMario and Haskell, this was purchased by my mother in Germany from an Italian woman who sold jewelry at the officers club to the military wives. Regardless, it is a stunning set and a proud addition to your fine vintage jewelry collection!
