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.
