1) This is a somewhat sophisticated brooch and earring set. Interesting design. Those bulrushes are fascinating. I’ve not previously seen bulrush jewelry. Silver tone metal.
2) Hematite Continental Silver tone brooch and earring set. Brooch is 2 3/4” x 1”.
3) Light blue opagues and light sapphire crystals Continental brooch and earring set. I saw this set from far away, and almost had a stress reaction, hoping I’d reach the two (separate) pieces before someone else did. Smiles. Brooch is just over 2” wide. Sherman makes a quite similar set; I do not have the Sherman set.
4) Black Jet long rhinestone/clear crystal navette brooch and earring set. The bottom of this brooch is not bent, even though it appears to be; those two bottom “dangling strands” are actually soldered together at that angle. Brooch is 2 1/2” x 1 1/2”.
The first three sets are new to me within the last two years. I have had the black crystal navette set since the 1990s. All sets marked “Continental.”

Oh my, such beautiful Continental sets here! All are lovely but I particularly love those in the second photo, such stylish design and gorgeous oval stones
Thank you, Newfld. Continental seems to be often underrated, suffers from being shadowed by Sherman. But there is great design work.
Searching1 — That bulrush set is rather cool. It was in two different locations in a store — why do some places do that? — but I did have the brooch in my hand when I found the marked earrings. Thank you.
Thanks to all for the Loves on these sets!
