Thoughts on these 2 sets

[prettysillybaubles_bylorih]

This first set has a vintage feel but I am just not sure.  It is well made & unsigned. The bracelet is hinged with a safety chain & push in. Thoughts on age or maker?

Here is the second one. Same questions about age and possible maker. Thanks! Lori

I`m gonna say vintage on the 1st set.. It`s gorgeous & does look well made..but I`m mostly basing it on the rhinestone tipped beads. 

Can`t see clear enuff on your second set.  I see a safety chain with the sport ring clasp..but on my monitor it looks silver compared to the gold tone of the bracelet .possibly a replacement, or just the light? 

Looking at it again..something seeme very familiar to it..hmmmmmm  off to search

For some reason Schreiner comes to mind on the second set.. course I could be waaaaaaay off base!  LOL

Here is another picture of the spring clasp. Its an older one and could be a replacement. It is gold tone but has lost some plating. The white insets and round beads that look like pearl is mother of pearl.

They both look vintage to me . The first one is so well made and the rhinestones are nice colors . Are some of the large rhinestones on top different colors ? They look like mystic topaz colored . I would guess late 50's - early 60's .

The second one has a later feeling . Like the 70's , with that color combination . Is it rich brown ( topaz color ) and mother of pearl ? The clasp still feels vintage to me as well .

Of course these are just feelings I get when I look at them . Cant place my finger on a maker .

P.S. The second one has that 70's flower power vibe .

I think they are actually red with an AB coating. Not as faceted as you normally see.

[southernmermaid8]

Ah yes that makes more sense for the 50's - 60's era .

Lori, your brown bracelet reminds me of one I showed in a previous thread.  The stones in yours seem to have a similar metallic sheen and the ridged prongs look the same.  I think the consensus was that these large stoned pieces are from about the 70's.  Here's my bracelet with similar stones:

I do not remember if it is Schreiner or Schiaparelli that has some of their stones turned up side down in the setting ie point up..

Both designers made very glitizy rhinestone chunky pieces..

Schreiner had the stones pointing up. I think they also used those crimped bowl settings (cant remember what ecxactly their name is....need more coffee!)

I think they are called "pie crust".

When determining whether vintage or not it would be good to know when clip earrings went mostly out of style, especially those type of clips. Whenever I see that style of clips on earrings I think of my grandmother's drawers of jewelry that I used to rummage through as a child in the 1950s and 1960s.

I agree with the 1970s on the goldtone set. Still vintage. There is vintage, and then there is vintager.
