Stunningly Gorgeous Vintage LG Rhinestone Necklace & Earring Set - 1st jewelry set Dad bought Mom

Most know I'm still going through jewelry and other assorted items left to me from my Mom and Grandmother.

When Mom passed, my eldest daughter selected some jewelry she wanted in memory of my Mom. She chose one of my fave item(s) (which is fine as she will actually wear it)...I miss 'seeing' it but it;s so much better that it will be worn and the memory of my Mom it will bring her and maybe others.

She's visiting now so I had her bring the necklace and earring set. We did find a mark on the earrings. We found an 'L G' which looking up appears to be: Lind-Gal, Inc., NYC Mark: Letters "LG" with no other design - first use 1952. We were puzzled that only the earrings were marked but I saw another set, perfectly matched earrings and necklace and only the earrings for that set were marked as well.

I know my Mom said Dad had given it to her after/around their 1st years (early in their marriage) of marriage and it was his 1st purchase of jewelry as a gift (outside of wedding ring) They married in 1950 during and she wondered if they would ever go somewhere "fancy" enough to wear it (they did :) ).

It says the LG/Ling-Gal, Inc mark was first used in 1952 so the timing is right as well. Since she is going to wear it, she will have some of the missing rhinestones replaced. Wish we had it in the 'best condition' but we just plan to enjoy it.
