This extraordinary set by Art by Hargo, made in the United States in 1959, comprises a bracelet and clip-on earrings featuring a dragon theme, an emblematic and theatrical motif typical of collectible American jewelry.

The set is decorated with rhinestones of various colors, expertly arranged along the sinuous lines of the dragon to create an effect of movement and sparkle, lending the piece an almost theatrical allure. The attention to detail in the casting and setting highlights the artisanal quality and refined aesthetic of Art by Hargo.

The bracelet has a diameter of approximately 7 cm, a dimension that lends it presence and visual impact, while the earrings feature a smaller version of the dragon motif, harmoniously completing the set.

This set is documented in important reference books:

• Costume Jewelry by Judith Miller, p. 145
• Vintage Costume Jewelry by Carole Tanenbaum, p. 136

A collector's item of great historical and stylistic value, representative of the bold and theatrical taste of American costume jewelry in the second half of the 1950s.
