Beaded Necklace and Earrings

This taupe ombre necklace set is one of my favorite pieces for several reasons. One is because the colors are absolutely beautiful and transition so gracefully. Another is that it is so versatile; it goes with everything. The style is simple, but beautiful. This vintage necklace and earrings set is made of cream beads, tan beads, taupe beads, mocha beads, clear beads and gold hardware. These colored beads are oval-shaped except for one round bead on each end of the strands. The necklace has four strands of beads descending in length. Each strand is one of the aforementioned colors of beads. The colored pearlescent beads alternate with crystal beads towards the center. The earrings are made of a cluster of the colored beads and three crystal clear beads. The necklace and each earring is signed "JAPAN". The necklace is signed on the hook clasp. The earrings are signed on the bottoms of their clips. This set is gold-based. The shortest strand of this taupe ombre necklace set is 17.25" long. The longest strand is 20.75" long. Both of these measurements include the hook clasp and extension beads, which are 4.5" long. The necklace is 1.75" wide as it lays naturally. The earrings are 1.1" in diameter. They have clip backs.
