The necklace is arranged as a dramatic drop design, with oversized one-inch glass beads punctuated by ornate openwork stations and sculptural gold-tone spacers. A long central pendant finishes in a substantial turquoise-and-green swirled glass drop, giving the piece beautiful vertical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coordinating screw-back earrings repeat the same ornate filigree and oversized glass beads, making this an especially compelling complete set. Although only the earrings bear the Castlecliff signature, the matching construction, materials, filigree components, bead treatment, and design language strongly indicate that the necklace and earrings were created as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color combination is extraordinary. The turquoise glass has a depth and translucence that almost resembles carved stone, while the flashes of green give each bead individuality. Against the opaque white glass and intricate gold-tone filigree, the effect is glamorous, exotic, and unmistakably vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner: Castlecliff\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet includes: Necklace and coordinating screw-back earrings\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Gold-tone metal and glass\u003cbr\u003eBeads: White glass with turquoise and green swirled glass beads\u003cbr\u003eLarge swirled glass beads: Approximately 1 inch\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Ornate openwork filigree stations with articulated pendant drop\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Spring-ring clasp with chain\u003cbr\u003eEarrings: Screw-back construction\u003cbr\u003eSignature: Castlecliff signature present on earrings; necklace is unsigned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNecklace: Approximately 17 inches long\u003cbr\u003eEarrings: Approximately 2 1\/2 inches long\u003cbr\u003eLarge turquoise and green glass beads: Approximately 1 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector’s Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastlecliff is one of the enduring names of American costume jewelry, founded in New York more than a century ago. The house became known for bold statement jewelry and the use of richly decorative metalwork, glass stones, and dramatic silhouettes. Castlecliff itself continues to celebrate its archival heritage today, including the use of vintage glass stones and components that reference its mid-century collections. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat history makes this set particularly appealing. The oversized poured-looking glass beads, elaborate filigree and strong use of color are exactly the elements that distinguish better vintage costume jewelry from mass-produced accessories. Castlecliff's surviving vintage work can be remarkably theatrical, with the company itself describing early-1970s pieces built around elaborate castings, semi-precious stones and long pendant silhouettes. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWhat elevates this particular piece is the survival of the coordinating earrings. Vintage sets are frequently separated over time, so finding necklace and earrings together gives the collection a sense of completeness. The result feels less like an accessory and more like an intact piece of American costume-jewelry history—bold enough to collect, but far too beautiful not to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mon Luxe Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44168052899899,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9056\/6715\/files\/CastlecliffTurquoise.png?v=1789081417","url":"https:\/\/monluxevintage.com\/products\/turquoise-reverie-vintage-70s-castlecliff-glass-necklace-and-earring-set","provider":"Mon Luxe Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
