Vintage 1960s Goldtone Multi Color Faceted Glass Stones Goldette Florenza 7.5″ 7 1/2″
This is a lovely, completely original, 1960s heavy gold plated multi color glass bracelet likely made by Florenza or Goldette. Oftentimes these chunky gold plated Goldette jewelry pieces were so heavily gold plated that maker marks became filled in or obscured by the gold. Frequently the marking is underneath the gold and not visible. This occurred with other well known makers as well. Other than some minor age wear on the back only it is in excellent overall condition. No dents or dings. No tears. Completely original from an estate from many years ago. Never altered or repaired. All stones are clear and intact having good strong colors. All are crisp and so sparkly that the gold is highly reflective rather than looking like a plain flat yellow gold. There is a beautiful mix of colors and all are set into very fancy gold settings as you see in the photos. Size is 7 1/2" long end to end laid out flat on a table by 1/2" wide and there is good thickness at 1/8". Very solid and heavy looking. This is a beautiful multi color 1960s bracelet likely made by a brand maker for your vintage statement jewelry collection. Google AI will confirm that many Goldette pieces from this are have hidden markings.

The company, which was founded in 1892 (or 1882, according to some sources), stopped using the "D.F.B. Co." mark in 1922 when it became Briggs, Bates, and Bacon.

Unsigned jewelry from both Goldette and Florenza (often confused with or referred to as "Lorenza" in searches, though Florenza is the correct brand) exists from the 1960s and 1970s. These pieces are highly collectible, often featuring Victorian and Edwardian revival styles, such as slide bracelets, intaglio pendants, and multi-chain necklaces.
Unsigned Goldette Jewelry (1960s–1970s)
Goldette, founded by the Circle Jewelry Company in 1958, produced high-end, detailed costume jewelry in New York.
Common Unsigned Pieces: Many Goldette items were not signed, specifically their intricate slide charm bracelets, Victorian revival fobs, and heavy gold-plated lockets.
Identification: Unsigned Goldette can be identified by its distinctive style: heavy antique gold plating, intricate filigree, reverse intaglio glass, and sometimes multiple chain strands.
Examples: Listings often feature "Unsigned Goldette" 4-chain lockets, intaglio brooches, and charm necklaces from the 1960s and 70s.
Unsigned "Lorenza" (Florenza) Jewelry (1960s–1970s)
The brand is properly known as Florenza, established by Dan Kasoff in 1948.
Unsigned Pieces: Florenza frequently produced jewelry for other designers (like Weiss, Kramer, and Revlon) and sometimes did not mark their own items.
Characteristics: Similar to Goldette, unsigned Florenza often features high-quality, intricate metalwork with a vintage, romantic aesthetic, such as porcelain cameo brooches and filigree flower pins.
Value: Unsigned Florenza is highly coveted, and collectors often look for the distinct, heavy, textured backings that characterize the brand.
