Era of this jewelry set?

[amandainvermont]

Fun Vintage costume jewelry - not earth shaking. You don’t notice the little tarnishing when not examining closely. Era?

My first instinct is later 40s, Retro style jewelry, but I'm not 100% certain...

Do you have a photo of the back construction of the set?

I agree with Carrie - 1940's, Retro Style.

I collect (and sell) vintage costume jewelry. I believe I have a close signed version of the bracelet. Mine is signed Reinad and is plated with a rose gold finish - not that visible in this link.

Oh Linn - Thanks - Yours is much better quality than mine! Here is a photo from the back.

That's great if it's that old!

Mine is constructed the same way as yours. The signature is on the fold-over clasp. Mine fastens on to a ring. See link:

(I don't know how to insert the photo)

I am fairly sure they are definitely '40's and appear to be very similar.

Linn's bracelet really is a ringer for yours, Amanda! Only difference I can see is that hers has a loop on either end of the necklace, which the foldover clasp is attached to.

Do you have a jewelry wipe you could use to clean it up with? I bet it will look a lot more impressive to you then!

Here are Linn's photos (I didn't realize she'd posted links to two of them).
