About the Item

This rare and impressive necklace was most likely created in the 1940s. It is by the renowned costume jeweller, Joseff of Hollywood. Condition Report: Excellent The Details... This necklace is made from the famous matte gold plate, which Joseff used to construct his jewellery. It features a thick rope chain. Suspended from this is a rococo inspired pendant detailed with floral motifs, cherubs and birds. Looped below this pendant are 4 rope chains of increasing length. The necklace fastens with a bolt ring. The necklace is signed - on the reverse of the pendant there is a a 'Joseff' stamp in script form. The necklace measures 45cm in length. A Short History... The Joseff of Hollywood company carries a great deal of prestige for both collectors of vintage costume jewellery and movie buffs alike. This is due to the fact that Joseff produced the vast majority of jewellery worn by the stars in films produced during Hollywood's 'Golden Era'. In fact, Joseff specially developed the brushed gold plate metal, which we see used in this necklace, as a suitable alternative to polished gold jewellery, which couldn't be used in the films as it reflected the studio lighting. Wear it With... Let Joseff's gold plate do the talking and pair this necklace with a plain black jersey maxi dress.
