Vintage HATTIE CARNEGIE Pastel Art Glass, Ceramic and Plastic Necklace and Earrings | A Beautiful and Happy Jewelry Set | Free Box and Tag

This glorious pastel-colored classic 1950s Hattie Carnegie two-strand necklace and clip earring set combines exquisite design sensibility with a sense of whimsy and fun.

This is "happy" jewelry — the sort that makes every day seem a bit more carefree and relaxed. And while we,re offering this as a necklace and earring set, we,re also including a third clip-on earring (that,s how it came to us!), which could easily be converted to a pin.

The set is both playful and beautiful, featuring pink, green, white, and orange colored glass and plastic (and possibly ceramic), beads of varying shapes, sizes, and textures. It combines artistic flair with high-end jewelry-making skills and is a wonderful example of mid-century American design and can be teamed with many different outfits. and wherever or whenever you wear it, it will be noticed and become a conversation starter.

Wherever or whenever you wear it, this set will be noticed and become a conversation starter. You simply can,t find this type of creativity and quality — not to mention value — in today,s mass-produced jewelry market.

ABOUT HATTIE CARNEGIE
Hattie Carnegie was the creator of a fashion empire designing not only clothing and accessories but also jewelry. Carnegie costume jewelry was made from the 1940s to the 1970s. She often used specific themes in her jewelry lines, and some of her major designers included Norman Norell, Pauline Trigere, Peggy Moonan, and Nandine Effront, while Kenneth J. Lane served as her creative director in the early 1960s.

Elegant and innovative, her jewelry remains both wearable and collectible today.
