Very special vintage signed Florenza necklace and clip-on earring set. Set in an antique gold setting, the necklace and clip earrings each use the same links with their designs. The large centerpiece stone is a specialty stone, trapezoid-shaped and bi-color including a deep green and topaz color combination. Topaz and jonquil rhinestones accent the piece with small faux beige pearls dangling from each link. The back of each link of the necklace is signed Florenza. The necklace clasp is a hook and chain and in total measures about 16.5 inches long (including extender chain). The clip earrings measure 1.5 x 1 inch. This set is in very good condition and is simply stunning.
Florenza was a jewelry line started in the early 1950s by Dan Kasoff and then run by his son Larry, the company was located in the Garment District of New York City. Dan Kasoff, the company's founder, designed all of the Florenza pieces. Faux precious stones and a distinctly Victorian look are signatures of Florenza. After a bad accident almost took Larry's life in 1981, this beloved jewelry brand was forced to stop production.
