Each strand alternates bright orange diamond-cut beads with translucent amber-toned faceted beads, joined by gold-tone spacers. The earrings mirror the design with clustered beads that catch the light beautifully.

Learning Note:
During the 1950s–1960s, Hong Kong became a key production hub for Western costume jewelry brands. Lightweight molded plastics like Lucite and polystyrene were used to imitate glass, creating colorful, affordable designs for the booming postwar market. This set’s faceted “cut crystal” effect and saturated color are typical of the export jewelry that defined Hong Kong’s reputation for quality mass-market pieces during the era.
