My sister's middle name is Rose and we have always called her Rosey Posey. She helped me design this necklace, and has the only other one in existence, so I thought naming it after her would be appropriate. The rose charm was actually a vintage clip-on earring and was stamped "Coro". Coro was a jewelry company from the early 1900's until 1970, when it went out of business. Judging by the style of stamp that was on lever-back, and according to the information I have found through research, my guess is that the earrings date back to the 1950's. The rose is simple with a gold tone finish and a clear glass rhinestone in the center. The lever-back has been removed and I have drilled a hole in the top to hang it by. It is hung on two separate chains, one gold plated and the other sterling silver. It is finished with silver plated findings clasp. This is a necklace to complement any outfit and is simple enough that it will never go out of style.
It is available on Etsy now!
