IS THIS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT GOLD TONE, TARA NECKLACE AND EARRING SET. THE ONLY THING MISSING IS THE BOX IT CAME IN. IT WAS MANUFACTURED BY TARA IN THE 1950'S-60'S. IT LOOKS BRAND NEW. IT HAS HEAVY AND I MEAN HEAVY GOLD TONE PLATING. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS PIECE IN NOT REAL GOLD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PIECE OF COSTUME JEWELRY LOOK QUITE THIS STUNNING. IT IS JUST TOO FINE. IT MEASURES 17 INCHES TO THE END OF THE EXTENSION AND 14 INCHES TO THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENSION. IT HAS A "J" HOOK CLASP. SO IT COULD GO FROM 14 TO 17 INCHES.
THE PICTURE SHOWN IS HOOKED ON THE LAST LINK. MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
IT IS MARKED ON BOTH EARRING AND THE NECKLACE HAS THE TINY HANG TAG THAT SAYS TARA.
I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT WELL . THE NECKLACE ORNAMENT IS ABOUT 3 INCHES ACROSS. IT LOOKS LIKE A CHRISTMAS PACKAGE BOW. IN THE CENTER THERE ARE THREE LOOPS WITH TWO STREAMERS EACH HAVING SIX GRADUATED CLEAR GLUED RHINESTONES. IN THE CENTER IT LOOKS LIKE FLOWER PETALS CENTERED BY ONE 3/16 OF AN INCH CLEAR PRONG SET RHINESTONE. THIS CENTER BOW IS FLANKED BY OBLONG BARS EACH HAVING SEVEN CLEAR GLUED RHINESTONES. ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THESE BARS ARE OVAL SHAPED GOLD TONE PETALS EACH TOPPED BY A SINGLE 3/16 OF AN INCH CLEAR PRONG SET RHINESTONE. THERE ARE SEVEN ON EACH BAR. ON THE LEFT ONE THERE ARE THREE ON TOP, THREE ON THE BOTTOM, AND ONE ON THE END. ON THE RIGHT BAR THERE ARE TWO ON TOP, FOUR ON THE BOTTOM, AND ONE ON THE END. IT IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL.
THE EARRINGS ARE A DAINTY 1 INCH LONG BY3/8THS OF AN INCH WIDE. THEY HAVE THE SAME SINGLE LOOP THEN THREE OF THE LITTLE PETALS AND THREE SMALL CLEAR PRONG SET RHINESTONES.
ALL THE STONES ARE PRESENT AND ARE VERY REFLECTIVE OF THE LIGHT AND THEY REALLY SPARKLE. IT WOULD MAKE A WELCOME ADDITION TO YOUR RHINESTONE COLLECTION.
