The Franklin Mint is proud to present this exquisite Jackie Jewelry Collection. They purchased Jackie’s three-strand faux-pearl necklace at auction and created this precise reproduction. The necklace has creamy Cabochon glass pearls, hand-knotted silken cords and a silver Art Deco-style clasp with twelve period-style European Crystals. These are same exact materials used in Jackie's original necklace! Each individual piece features all of the qualities and materials that make the original so desirable. Each individual piece bears the Franklin Mint’s silver emblem of authenticity. The Jackie Jewelry Collection includes: The stunning reproduction of Jackie’s famous triple-strand necklace, 18'' including clasp. Matching 1 1/4'' square brooch. Triple-strand bracelet, 7 1/4'' including clasp. Matching 3/8'' square earrings. This is truly a gorgeous and breathtaking collection. To find this complete collection is RARE due to its limited production and the difficulty of finding the complete set together. I believe this collection was originaly released in the winter of 2005/spring of 2006 and since then similar individual pieces are now being crafted which retail for $125.00 to $195.00 apiece(depending on the piece). I believe the estimated worth of this collection is between $400.00 and $500.00. Starting bid price is only $70.00. So as to prevent any confusion and educate you on your auction choice, please understand that The Franklin Mint has two almost identical versions of the same line of jewelry. I believe that this set is the original one they produced a few years back. It was offered as a promotion and is not available through the website. Sometime last year they revamped the collection and made some minor changes. The materials of both sets are exactly the same. The only differences that I am aware of are the following: They have changed the clasps on the necklace and bracelet and the new earrings are sterling silver. Both sets are made of Cabochon Glass Pearls and European Crystals and this set has the matching brooch which is not offered with the current set on the Franklin Mint website. Both sets are authentic Franklin Mint collections and come with certificates stating such. I believe this to be the better of the two sets because everything matches beautifully.
