Aurora Borealis Costume Jewelry-Necklace and Earrings

I do not wear this set but this set has been worn by a couple of friends in weddings. So many color's in this set. I had to pull this out and share with everyone. Funny how you forget about all the stuff you have collected....then when you are looking at other peoples collections you remember and go searching. Popular in the late 1950s and first part of the 1960s, Aurora Borealis stones were used extensively by costume jewellery manufacturers to create jewels with glittering brilliance and sparkle. Named after the atmospheric phenomenon ‘the northern lights’. Beautiful iridescent, rainbow effect.
