Distinctly Heidi Daus, this multicolor Swarovski crystals and brick red carnelian bead necklace pays homage to the Art Deco period. A mix of 5 strands, 3 links of inset crystals, a pendant and beaded tassels, it is magnificent. The necklace is formed with Heidi Daus's iconic bronze tone metal, plus inset crystals and beads. Five strands of tiny round brick red carnelian beads join to links of inset Swarovski crystals. The links are two 1/2 inch wide ovals, 2 oblong 1 and 1/2 inch rectangular sections, finished with two more of the wide ovals. Those meet a 1 and 1/2 inch section of the 5-strand small beads. The spectacular center piece to this necklace is a pendant with another of the oval and rectangular sections, plus 2 and 1/2 inches of beaded tassels accented with the inset crystals in bronze metal rounds.

The bracelet is made with oval links on inset crystals. It is 7 inches long from oval to oval and has its own 1 and 1/2 inch extender chain. That means it can easily be worn by those with larger wrists. The clasp is a lobster claw style.

Colors here include brick red, apple green, purple, pastel pink and clear Swarovski crystals. Those crystals are in various shapes and sizes.

My description reads as almost too methodical for how beautiful this set is. As you can see in the photos, this is a spectacular 2-piece set, one you will love to collect and wear.

The metal is completely untarnished and is in wonderful condition on the front and back sides.

All of the inset faceted Swarovski crystals remain shiny. One of the tiny pink crystals was replaced, but you will have to look very hard to determine where. An authentic Swarovski crystal was used for that replacement.

At the back of the pendant necklace the hook style clasp is sturdy and secure. There is a 4 inch long extender chain, with a ball of inset crystals at the end.

This set is a lovely one of her Signature pieces, from her early design career. An authentic Heidi Daus piece, it is stamped on the back with "HD China".

I have seen this necklace in other seller's listings described as "Heidi Daus for Jim Walters, Carnelian Bead Necklace with 3 Pavé Crystal Stations". Based on my research Heidi Daus was married to Jim Walters in the 1980's. She designed jewelry for his company.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
