Description
Having a noticeable 1970s antique finish this is a 24.75″ long Victorian Etruscan style dangle tassel pendant on its original rectangular chaining. Having a heavy gold plating before applying the dark oxidized antique finish was a popular style of jewelry making by Goldette, Florenza, Hollycraft and other makers during the 1940s to the 1970s. Goldette and Florenza pieces are commonly found to have their original markings underneath the heavy gold plating. The gold plating was so heavily applied that it covered the marks. Size of this necklace is 24.75″. The Victorian style chain looks delicate but is actually very strong. The chain is 22″ long end to end while the pendant is 2.75″ from top of bail to bottom on center dangle. The dangles have the same fancy cutwork on the edges and Etruscan raised ball design as seen on the oval part of the pendant. Width across the pendant is 1.75″ east to west. Overall condition is excellent, like new. Absolutely No wear to the gold or the antique finish. No damage. No repair. Never altered. Completely original as originally sold in the 1960s, 1970s. A lovely long dangling necklace for anyone who collects this period and style of vintage statement jewelry.
