On this piece
Dior licensed its designs to American houses in the postwar years, and Kramer of New York made some of the best of them. This sunburst set is one: a silver-tone Deco frame carrying Gripoix-style jade glass cabochons, with crystal rhinestones set between to throw back the light the jade absorbs. The necklace and earrings both carry the Christian Dior for Kramer mark on the reverse, and the earrings additionally carry a separate Kramer of NY mark on the clip, two signatures on one piece, which is unusual enough to be worth noting. The necklace is 16 inches long and 7/8 inch wide; the earrings measure 1 1/8 inches across from every side. Excellent vintage condition, with every stone present.
