Larry Vrba bronze tone metal & faux turquoise collar style necklace & clip earrings

This superb suite is by the American designer Larry Vrba. The collar style necklace is made of bronze tone metal and comprises 17 drop sections that are attached to a bronze tone round ball link chain. Nine of the drop sections comprise a top oval section set with a large glass faux turquoise cabochon stone suspended from which is a bronze tone metal stirrup shaped section in the centre of which is a round faux turquoise flat cabochon stone. Each of the remaining 8 drop sections comprises a top oval section set with a large glass faux turquoise cabochon stone suspended from which is a scalloped shell like bronze tone metal section in the middle of which is a round acrylic cabochon faux turquoise stone. The collar style necklace fastens with a hook and chain making it adjustable. Suspended from the chain is an irregular shaped glass faux turquoise stone. The reverse of the centre drop has an oval cartouche stamped "Lawrence Vbra" and the reverse of another drop has an oval cartouche stamped "Made in USA".
The matching clip earrings are in bronze tone metal and are stirrup shaped with a flat round cabochon faux turquoise stone. Both earrings have an oval cartouche on the rear stamped "Lawrence Vrba".
The necklace looks fantastic on a round necked black top and the earrings are stylish enough to be worn without the necklace and still make a statement.
