Beautiful vintage Joseff of Hollywood FILIGREE dangle Necklace/Earring Set

Absolutely awe-inspiring, this vintage demi-parure is by Joseff of Hollywood, the "Jeweler to the Stars". Mr. Joseff created breathtaking pieces for many well-known Hollywood classics, such as "Gone with the Wind," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Camille," "Cleopatra" and hundreds of other films. Stars like Vivien Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, and Elizabeth Taylor wore Joseff jewelry in their movies. He supplied 90 percent of Hollywood's jewelry during the "Golden Age" from the 1930's to 1950's.

This demi is fashioned of well-made, heavy, layered filigree metalwork, typical of early Joseff pieces. All Joseff pieces were hand-soldered, hand-set and made according to extremely high standards.

The necklace features seven filigree pendants or charms. Each pendant has a floral top piece each with 3 separate dangling filigree's in a teardrop shape for a total of 21 separate teardrop dangles. The earrings each have the floral top piece with 3 separate filigree dangles. A round cartouche signed "Joseff" in script is on the back of the center most piece of the necklace. The necklace spring ring clasp is strong and secure, as are all the links and findings in the necklace.

The earring clips are clean, tight and secure but do not pinch. There is a round cartouche signed "Joseff" in script on the back of one earring.

The Russian gold plating that Joseff is known for is a wonderful warm color.

MEASUREMENTS: The choker style necklace measures approximately 15 inches long, and the clip earrings are 2 inches long.

The only issue with this marvelous set set is on one filigree dangle located at the very end of the necklace is a very tiny missing piece of filigree. It is on the back side of the dangle at the very back (I have a pen pointing to the damaged dangle on one picture). Even when looking for it knowing it is there I usually never see it. It can not be seen when the necklace is on and when looking for it normally it cannot be seen. This is a very minor issue.

This is a wonderful set for any Joseff collector! My home has always been a non-smoking home. If you have ANY questions or want additional pictures, please email me through Ruby Lane.
