Emerald/diamond necklace and earrings, Van Cleef and Arpels.

This set is a little nutty, but still great.

set, demi parure, acorns, pears, fruit, retro, vintage, 1960's, midcentury, emerald drops, gold, brilliant cut diamonds, fringe, beads


The necklace is designed as a line of brilliant-cut diamonds, suspending at the front a fringe of seven graduated emerald bead drops (two of which have been added later).  Each emerald drop has a diamond-set cap and surmount, linked by emerald beads. The necklace was made in 1960 by Van Cleef and Arpels and is accompanied by a matching pair of earrings mounted in gold.

I think it looks like pears or green acorns. Gotta love the 1960's.
