Found these in my grandmothers things and was just wondering what they are. They are stanped on the back of each piece with the word Lisner. Really just wondering if they are the real deal or just pretty. Thanks for any input you might have :)

It depends on what you mean when you say real deal? If you mean genuine gold and stones then no it is not real. But it is a nice vintage costume jewelry set by a collectible designer. Lisner is popular and well known, much like Coro or Trifari.
Your set is very pretty and the fact that you have different shaped stones is nice.
Value is found in the fact that it was your grandmothers, keep it and love it!
Hope this helps.
I agree with VintageMad.. Not alot of Lisner deisgns fetch high prices as Lisner was more of a lower end jewellery supplier... nice set though :)
Thank you both! I was just wondering if it really was Lisner. I am stoked to have something that my grandma had :)
