1950’s Napier Carnelian
Parure: Necklace, Bracelet and Earring set: Huge
Dimensional Napier Parure with Amazing Stones 1950’s
I was prepared to sell just the
bracelet two weeks ago and was fortunate to have the
opportunity to purchase the necklace and earrings making for
a fantastic Napier necklace, bracelet and earring set. This
is your rare opportunity to purchase an outstanding parure
from the 1950’s. Napier sold each item separately so that
the money conscious woman of the 1950’s could budget her
jewelry purchases. The bracelet is VERY dimensional with
gigantic dark amber cabochons and is quite heavy. Each
large link is accented with hand manipulated leaf detail
creating a pseudo baroque flowering bud motif.
The necklace consists of a two tiered
drop again accented with the rich cabochons and hand
manipulated metal work. This set was very labor intensive
to construct and one can see slight variation in the curves
of the leaves a product of Napier’s superb workmanship.
Earrings are clip measuring 1 ¼” in length. The necklace
pendant measures 3 2/10” in length and 2 8/10” in width.
The bracelet measures 7 ½” in length. The set is in
excellent condition.
