    Nice, simple design.

    Blue glass (nicely cut, I think) necklace and matching earrings. All are marked Whiting and Davis.

    Unsure of time period but it looks more recent..and am unsure what I'm basing that on..lol..

    UPDATE: I'm sure many already know this history of Whiting and Davis, but I found it fascinating:

    Whiting & Davis started out as Wade, Davis & Company in 1876, they were in the business of producing jewelry and continued in this field even after the production of their mesh handbags began in the late 1800s. In 1903, Edward Davis received a patent for the hinged bangle bracelet and made jewelry history, according to the Whiting & Davis website.

    Until the '50s, however, Whiting & Davis wasn’t well known for jewelry production. The mid-century tide turned when they began making costume jewelry en masse once again. Rather than using metal mesh, most of these pieces are comprised of heavy metal work, and many are set with large, interesting glass stones or glass cameos. Some have an Art Nouveau or Victorian revival feel to them, and the hinged cuff was used in a big way.

    Whiting & Davis marks used during this period include stamps directly into the piece and oval metal hang tags.
