Signed Vintage Florenza 1960s Rhinestone & Faux Pearl Brooch Pendant Necklace

A true collector’s piece, this signed vintage Florenza brooch pendant dates to circa 1960 and captures the ornate, romantic style that has made Florenza jewelry so sought after by vintage collectors.

The substantial 3 x 1.5-inch pendant is designed in an unusual rounded crown shape with intricate gold-tone filigree and richly layered embellishments. Warm brown and topaz-colored rhinestones mingle with luminous faux pearls, while two delicate chain tassels add graceful movement and an elegant finishing touch.

Designed for versatility, the Florenza piece can be worn as a dramatic pendant on the included 30-inch decorative gold-tone chain or detached and worn separately as a vintage brooch. The chain’s scalloped oval links beautifully echo the ornate detailing of the pendant, creating the appearance of a thoughtfully matched original design. A coordinating gold-tone lobster claw clasp provides a secure closure.

Inspired by elaborate Italian and Victorian design, the combination of filigree, jewel-toned rhinestones, pearls and dangling chains gives this necklace the character of a treasured piece discovered in an antique jewelry box.

Florenza jewelry was created in New York by Daniel Kosoff from the late 1940s through the early 1980s and became known for elaborate gold-tone metalwork, richly colored stones and romantic Old World-inspired designs.

Signed, convertible and increasingly collectible, this vintage Florenza brooch pendant necklace is a distinctive treasure for the woman who appreciates authentic mid-century costume jewelry and jewelry with a story.

Handcrafted jewelry MUST be handled with love. Here are some tips to help you care for your handcrafted designs:

• Clean your items with mild soap and hot water and polish with soft cloth. 
• Do not use jewelry cleaning solutions or ultrasonic machines.
• Due to the more delicate nature of handmade items, remove your jewelry before sleeping, showering, exercising or swimming.
• Don’t allow jewelry to come in contact with perfume, sunscreen, skin care, shampoo or chemicals to avoid problems with gemstones or metals.
• Handle with care as these are custom made and often include gemstones and vintage components.
