Renaissance Revival Filigree Bracelet with Cherub Motif, c. 1955-1965

Story

Post-war fashion in the 1950s took a dramatic turn toward the romantic and the historical, moving away from the starkness of the 1940s. This bracelet is a product of that 'more is more' era, where jewelry was designed to be a conversation piece at a cocktail party or a theater outing.

Maker / Origin

While no signature is visible, this piece is highly characteristic of firms like Florenza, Art, or Goldette, who specialized in 'Antiqued' finishes.

Condition & Value

The gold-tone finish shows a lovely aged patina consistent with its age. All glass stones appear to be present and original, and the safety chain is intact, which is a significant plus for collectors. The slight darkening in the recessed areas of the filigree is intentional to provide contrast. Excellent condition for its age.
