A rare and very special Vintage CIS Necklace Parure or suite, circa 1960. CIS jewellery was created by Cissy Zoltowska.

She was forced to flee Budapest in 1945, taking refuge in Switzerland where she began making a living making and selling her ceramic jewels and also her buttons and combs.

She is famously quoted as remarking ‘I do not like imitations! I eat real sugar, real butter, and drink real Vodka, so I decided to make real fantasy jewellery...
