Rarely listed or known by its real name, this is my Emmons "White Camellia" demi set from 1966 (style 1638 pin / 2638 earrings). I love the simple elegance of white and gold.

nutsabotas6, to me it adds both validity and character to know the name of a piece and year made. There are so many guesstimates, many way off and so priced wrong as well.
That's beautiful!! Costume jewelry used to be made with pride back in the day. Now it's pretty much all crap from Asia....
Efesgirl, true... even companies like Srah Coventry or Monet made some great sets that held up well over the years. There is a lot of mass produced, cheaply made, pot metal and glued in Chinese crystal or acrylic jewelry today. But, I have also bought a lot of it and like anything, you have to shop and be selective and read between the lines (as well as their material descriptions) to buy the best. There are some prong set, unfoiled CZ jewelry they make, as well as using real Swarovski crystals.
