Pressed molded glass bracelet and earrings in a grapevine leaf pattern with bronze-colored branches. No markings except Pat Pend on the ear clip. I've had the bracelet for years and just found the matching earrings online. I Was Thrilled!!
The green leaf is about an inch to give you an idea of scale. I believe these are from the 40's-50's. The cabochons are painted gold on the back (pic. 3) with little dark green dew drops on the green leaf and intricate carving on the gold (pic 2 best).
I think these are Czech. I've seen the large green cabs somewhere online, now I can't find the source. Any info appreciated as always!!

Gorgeous set, love the spotted leaves
Such a lovely set !!! It's amazing you found the earrings, being from so long ago. It's spectacular ! :)
Worth fighting over !~
I really love the look of these!
Wonderful set Mary, I love it:-)
Would those lovely golden leaves be Czech mirror glass?
Aahh! What a luck to find the earrings years after the bracelet, a glorious naturalistic set
:-D
I want to know who made this glorious set?!!
Mary, I so happy for you... Trying to complete sets without breaking the bank
is hard work, but fun. After so many years to come across the matching earrings is nothing
short of a miracle, and alot of luck!!
Jenni - Thanks, yes the little spots are blobs of glass :-)
Ken - I know you understand how fun it is to find matching pieces :-)
Phil - Because they weren't marked, I got them for the opening bid. :-)
Scott - Thank you for your nice comment :-)
Judy - The gold leaves are matte, then buffed to reveal shine in certain areas, then carved? Intricate. Thanks, I will do some research on Czech mirror glass :-)
Kyra - Thanks, now I am looking for the necklace :-)
Eileen - Thanks! I thought it was a miracle too. I am curious too, but no luck so far. Altho the bracelet clasp is old, I think it's a replacement because it slips around, so the original probably had a mark on it :-)
Thanks friends for loves: Fort, Gillian, Thomas, Ben
Really lovely!
I love unique pieces like that. So cool. And to find the matching earrings is fantastic!
Perfect match. This is costume jewelry at its best! Lovely!
