Vintage 1970s Mid Century Fancy Filigree Lavalier Necklace Pendant Lavaliere - YELLOW GOLD PLATED - Purple Amethyst Colored Faceted Glass Center. Came with an old metallic gold filled hang tag but appears to be gold plate. Actual stone color is deep purple.....This is a lovely small vintage lavaliere pendant necklace with fancy filigree and in never used, mint condition. Likely an unsigned mid century costume house. As many Goldette and Florenza collectors know, the gold plating on Goldette jewelry was so heavily applied that oftentimes the marking is either very faint or not found because it lies underneath the gold. On Florenza jewelry it is commonly found unmarked as is the case with other vintage costume makers. This lavaliere necklace was part of an estate of an old jeweler who manufactured and distributed jewelry for Goldette, Florenza, Hollycraft and many other costume houses during the 1970s to 1990s. It was never used and is in wonderful, original, mint condition. No gold wear at all. Very delicate, fancy and well made. Total size of necklace is just about 25". The chain is 24" long and the lavaliere pendant is 7/8" tall including the tiny top loop. This is a beautiful, showy, delicate filigree lavaliere for your vintage jewelry collection. Hard to find these old pieces in this condition!
