SoVintageous is offering this stunning vintage sterling silver and petit-point turquoise necklace, bracelet and earrings Parure, handmade in Taxco, Mexico by JSF. The chains are made up of Figure-of-8 links, each joined together by 4 round sterling links, and, in the center of each Figure-of-8 link, is a bezel-set petit-point turquoise cabochon. The necklace and bracelet both have secure tongue and box clasps, while the earrings are secured with screw-backs. Based on the hallmarks, this Parure was made sometime between 1948 and 1955 and has a beautiful patina acquired with age. While all three pieces are in excellent condition, the necklace is missing 6 turquoise cabochons (see photos), a fact that is not very noticeable as they are missing from near the clasp of the necklace. New stones can be easily found should you wish to replace them. The bracelet and earrings are complete.
This absolutely gorgeous, rare Parure represents the incredible skill and quality craftsmanship of Taxco silversmiths and will attract nothing but the most wonderful attention when it's worn.

As it is preferable to most vintage/antique jewelry collectors that older pieces maintain their patina I don't polish vintage/antique pieces. However, if you prefer to have the Parure polished, please let me know and I will shine all the pieces up before I mail them to you.
It is extremely important to me that you are satisfied with your purchase, so, if the Parure is not as described, please contact within 5 days of receipt (I cannot process a refund if you do not contact me prior to any return) and return it to me in the same condition as it was when I send it to you, and I will happily refund your payment, including original S&H.
As with any pre-owned items, there may be signs of age. I do my utmost to take and present photos that accurately depict the item for sale, including any blemishes/damage. If you have any questions prior to purchase, please let me know and I will get back to you asap. I'm afraid that I cannot offer refunds for buyer's remorse, failure to read terms or descriptions, or for not asking questions not answered in the listing.
S&H charges for places outside of the 48 contiguous United States will be calculated based on the weight of the package.
I will always combine shipping costs whenever possible.
