Aurora Nights: 1950s Faceted Crystal Jewelry Set

This vintage Aurora Borealis crystal necklace and earring set captures the ethereal light play that defined midcentury glamour. Introduced by (the ultimate drama queens) Swarovski in the 1950s, the “Aurora Borealis” coating gave glass beads an iridescent, prismatic finish — designed to mimic the Northern Lights and adored by designers like Dior and Miriam Haskell.

This two-strand necklace features faceted round crystals that refract a full spectrum of color with every movement. The matching clip-on earrings are sculpted in a clustered dome shape. Each piece is set on silver-tone hardware. From jazz clubs to indie sleeze.
