The vintage collar necklace is in 18ct yellow gold, with numerous, rounded, 'cross' links, in alternating bright-polish and textured rows, with the whole flexible structure tapered and slightly domed.  The centre of the necklace is mounted with 18 x scattered, claw-set, round brilliant-cut diamonds (circa 0.06ct each; VS clarity, colour G-H), with a combined weight of circa 1.08ct. The necklace has a tongue-and-box clasp, with two safety clips. The box clasp is stamped "750" for 18ct gold, plus other maker's marks.

The matching earrings are composed of similar, though fixed, 'cross' links in 18ct yellow gold, with white gold Omega clips.  The earrings are each claw-set with 7 x scattered, claw-set, round brilliant-cut diamonds (circa 0.05ct each; VS clarity, colour G-H), with a combined weight of circa 0.7ct for both earrings.  The earrings are indistinctly stamped with maker's marks, etc.
