FRENCH foiled glass cabochon links necklace and earrings made in France for Dior. The
glowing cabochons are a color I have never seen before, a sort of blue,
gray, silver combination, gorgeous and surrounded by clear rhinestones, all
set in silver tone metal.. Just wonderful in person. Each piece is marked
"MADE IN FRANCE". The back shows crimping of the stones, like Countess Cissy Zoltowska CIS designs, the "S" hook clasp in similar to vintage Dior
pieces, and this is why I make this attribution. In excellent condition,
this set will be the highlight of any collection. Courtesy of Lee Kalmus.
