Vintage Liquid Silver Necklace and Earrings Set, Gold Plate over Sterling Silver

Classic and timeless set of liquid silver necklace and earrings.  Hand beaded tiny tube beads are threaded in this 30 strand necklace. The strands are bunched up and closed with a long cone bead and the closure is a hook and eye mechanism. The beauty of liquid silver is that the beads are so small that the effect is you wear something that feels like liquid. The necklace is long enough for it be doubled up as a choker.

The earrings are made of the same beads of 10 doubled up strands of these heishi beads. The earrings hand from French hooks marked '925' and both pieces are signed with a rising sun motif and stamped "sterling." There is a bit of oxidation but I would be happy to clean that up for you.

• Earrings drop 6.5 cm (2 5/8") and weigh 4.2 g.
