Vintage Attwood and Sawyer (A&S) signed faux pearl drop, rhinestone and gold plated necklace and earrings set, earrings for pierced ears

Vintage necklace and earrings demi-parure from quality makers Attwood and Sawyer. This is a beautiful knot design in antique Georgian style with thick gold plate encrusted with beautiful clear rhinestones and gorgeous large faux pearl teardrop drops. I thought I had seen every design from the A&S factory but this one is another new one to me - they always keep surprising me!

The necklace and one of the earrings have the A&S stamp on the reverse as pictured. The necklace is about 16 inches in length, fastening with an ornate fold-over hinged clip clasp, and the earrings are each about 3/4 inch long and ear bars and butterfly backs for pierced ears. They are in very good vintage condition with all rhinestones intact and very little wear, though please remember they are pre-owned. Please examine and zoom in on all photos for a full condition report.

Founded in England in 1956 by Horace Attwood (Sawyer was a silent partner), Attwood & Sawyer produced copies of 18th- and 19th-century precious jewellery, many pieces for the Dallas and Dynasty TV series, and glittering diamante compositions for the Miss World competitions.
