1960s Tara Brooch/Pin & Earrings Demi Parure Juliana Style D & E

[svgallery name="Tara"]

An unusual combination of stones can be found in this piece. A center stone that varies in color from citrine to topaz to emerald color all in one stone! Trimmed with a ring of topaz colored chaton cut rhinestones. An edge of topaz colored marquise cut stones with both subtle and bright orange chaton cut stones. Earrings echo the pin, employing all the same stones. Set in brightly colored gold toned metal.

Juliana style characteristics… Unusually colored brooch has unfoiled marquise cut stones in an open backed setting. There is also a hook, often found on Juliana brooches so they can also be worn as a pendant.

Measurements

Brooch measures: Just over 2 inches in diameter. Nearly 1 inch in depth.

Earrings measure: Just OVER 1 inch in height. Just UNDER 1 inch in width.

Condition

There is one teeny tiny fleck of foil missing from the center stone of the brooch.  I didn’t notice after full examination, until I held it up to a light.  Absolutely not visible while wearing.  There is foil loss to the center stone on each earring and the plating on the reverse has significant wear throughout. Pin is not marked. Earrings are signed TARA, which is why we never break up sets!

Brooch Grade: Excellent

Earring Grade: Good
