Vintage gold plated rhinestone necklace earring Set【American vintage jewelry】

This gorgeous set is framed in a charming bay leaf shape. The most special thing about the necklace is that the upper half is gold-plated and has a three-dimensional bead shape, while the lower half has shiny rhinestones added to the gold-plated base to shape the leaves, making the overall look as beautiful as a two-color combination of gold and silver. The same style of earrings also uses laurel leaves and rhinestones, and the hanging shape is a little more charming. In Greek mythology, laurel wreaths made of bay leaves are always associated with poets and victors. Just like the relationship between olive leaves and Athena, bay leaves also represent the glory of Apollo. After Apollo killed the python Pedon (Πύθων in ancient Greek), he wiped the blood with a bay leaf, so this plant became Apollo's sacred object, representing victory and purification. The luster of rhinestones under sunlight is so beautiful that it’s dizzying!
