This set is a beautiful example of mid-20th century costume jewelry, crafted during the golden age of American and European fashion jewelry — an era when elegance was accessible to every woman. The Aurora Borealis coating, developed in 1955 by Swarovski in partnership with Christian Dior, revolutionized fashion jewelry. It gave stones a rainbow-like sheen, reminiscent of the northern lights — hence the name.
Paste glass (high-lead crystal glass) was widely used to imitate precious stones with remarkable brilliance. Swag necklaces, popular in the 1950s and early 60s, added drama and femininity to evening wear. Clip-on earrings, also typical of the time, made it easy to match statement pieces without requiring pierced ears.
Whether you’re a vintage enthusiast, a collector, or simply someone who loves the charm of old-world glamour, this set tells a story of sparkle, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
Dazzle in timeless mid-century glamour with this exquisite vintage jewelry set, featuring a cascading swag necklace and matching clip-on earrings. Each piece is adorned with brilliant Aurora Borealis (AB) coated rainbow paste glass stones that shimmer with iridescent hues — from delicate lilacs and blues to fiery golds and greens — depending on how the light hits.
The necklace features elegant scalloped swags, giving it movement and grace, while the clip-on earrings mirror the brilliance of the necklace with radiant round clusters of the same sparkling stones. Set in a silver-tone setting with intricate detailing, this set evokes classic 1950s Hollywood style — perfect for weddings, cocktail parties, or collectors of vintage costume jewelry.
