Vintage JewelCrest AB rhinestone Necklace + box 1950s

 Vintage JewelCrest aurora borealis rhinestone necklace 
Excellent condition .  Just on  44cm  long.  Each 'drop' is 1.1cm long.
The section where the drops are measures 18.5 long, and the rest of the necklace
has the smaller AB rhinestones all along except for 5cm of chain and then there is a
'drop' ab rhinestone at the end of it.   All rhinestones are claw set with a backing.
The metal used might be a type of gold plating . It's not the cheap looking goldtone.

The play of colours in this sparkly necklace is amazing - much nicer than the photos show.
 Supplied with original Jewelcrest case.  The case is rather worn & marked  on the inside, but the exterior is ok

This was originally bought from Caldwell's Jewellers( very up-market exclusive jewellers) in Newcastle by my grandfather as a
gift to my grandmother in approximately 1955-56.  I have also  listed  (see my other items) the matching Jewelcrest
Brooch  he bought her and also a  rhinestone bracelet.

JewelCrest  jewellery items were produced in South Australia.  They are similar quality to Simpson jewellery.
I cannot find any markings on the necklace but will guarantee that it is JewelCrest - I'm old enough to remember this
being bought.  My grandfather only shopped at Caldwell's for costume jewellery  for my grandmother.
