Description
Best known for their wonderful compacts, Volupté did manufacture a small amount of costume jewelry pieces as well. This rare bracelet and chandelier earrings set, probably dating from the early 1950's, has solid gold metal cubes interspersed with white glass beads--perfect for spring and summer! The bracelet has three separate strands, and fastens with a ring clasp. The earrings have clip backs, marked "Volupté". The set is in very good condition, with some irregularities to the round shape of the glass beads (which may not be a flaw, just worth noting), minor wear to the finish of the heavy, gold metal cubes, and a light spot where some gold finish has rubbed off, on the back of one earring, at the top of the "chandelier" (see close up photo--the earring is flipped over to show the spot).
