This is a fabulous German Lucite jewelry parure or set. It includes this triple strand bead necklace, a triple strand bracelet and beaded earrings. The set features a fantastic assortment of faceted, round and swirl shaped Lucite beads mixed with gold tone faux pearls. The colors are a mix of greens and golds. The longest strand on the necklace is is about 17", the shortest is 13". There is a beaded extender chain which will add 2 3/4". The hook is marked Germany. The bracelet is a triple coil style that is 8 1/2" long and almost 2" wide. It still has the paper label that says made in Western Germany. The matching earrings are a cluster style of clip on with the same matching beads. They are marked made in Germany. This jewelry is coming straight out of the old original boxes and has never been worn. It is in perfect condition and you'll really enjoy wearing it. The sets must have been made before the end of WWII since the findings are marked only made in Germany. However, a paper label was added to the bracelet which says made in Western German, which indicates they were exported after WWII. I would conclude they were made in the early 1940's.
