Vintage Y Gold Tone Painted Necklace & Earrings Set Unsigned Marked West Germany

Vintage Y Gold Tone Painted Necklace & Earrings Set Unsigned Marked West Germany

Please consider product images as part of the item's description.

This beautiful vintage set is just waiting to add some formal elegance to your wardrobe! A quaint floral pattern is the theme of each piece, presumably all painted by hand as each individual surface has its own unique look. A row of tiny faux pearls frame each portrait, gently offsetting the bright golden base. Over time, metal has dulled & succumbed to verdigris buildup (mainly underneath earring backings) and some oxidation/tarnish (prongs); picture surfaces are not smooth...unsure if a protective film was applied to help preserve the images & is wearing down, or if this is just residue buildup over time. All pieces need a careful cleaning but overall are in excellent condition for their age. Makes a great gift or add to your collection!
