A charming Thermoset demi in rich two-tone olive—in a curved leaf or petal shape with gold tone metal. It has a lovely soft creamy look to the thermoset. The necklace is in a choker style with adjustable extension. These sets always bring back good memories for me. I had an aunt who wore the most fabulous jewelry. I can remember her wearing Thermoset in an array of colors. She was an excellent seamstress and would wear pretty colorful sleeveless tops with almost always white capris. This was her summer go-to outfit and she had a good deal of the Thermoset jewelry which seemed to always accompany pretty summer outfits. Thermoset, a form of Lucite, was lightweight, highly popular and very collectible with a wide range of colors. The sets were very affordable then and are still highly collectible and affordable today. Judging by the pieces of Pakula I have had in my possession so much of their line looked a good deal like Lisner. I will, say however, whatever all of the makers of the popular Thermoset jewelry used as a finish on the metal, it did not seem to weather time very well. So I would like to point out that the finish has some wear. This is why I don't have a great deal of these pieces in my inventory. From what I can gather, most of the pieces were popular from the late 1950s to the mid 1960s—my grandmother even had a necklace and earring set and she was pretty much a farmer's wife. ID-623

Pakula Jewelry History —

Pakula and company was founded in Chicago about 1940. The company specialized in production of charms and identification bracelets, pearl jewelry, and compacts. The firm produced pearl jewelry as well as others employing plastic inserts and rhinestones. Some of their pieces look a good deal like Lisner and Coro. Pakula used various trademarks including: Aloha on pearl jewelry, Enchantress within an oyster shell, Golden Key with a large key between the two words and the letter P in a shield. Not too commonly found on the market. As of 1998 Pakula was still in business today.
