Florenza Signed Vintage Necklace, 1950s Gold Tone, Peridot Green Rhinestones & Faux Seed Pearls — As Found

Brand: Florenza (Dan Kasoff, Inc.)
Era: 1950s
Condition: As found — one simulated pearl is missing (noted in images). Otherwise structurally sound with normal age-appropriate patina.
A striking example of mid-century American costume jewellery at its finest. Florenza specialised in Victorian revival and Renaissance styles, using gold-plated metal with intricate detailing — and this necklace is a superb illustration of that signature aesthetic.
The piece features a series of large marquise/emerald-cut peridot green rhinestones, each set within ornate antiqued gold tone floral and scrollwork frames. Between and below each stone, clusters of warm amber-toned round rhinestones and delicate faux seed pearl drops create a rich, layered effect. The overall composition is theatrical yet refined — unmistakably Florenza.
Florenza always used only the finest stones from Austria, Germany and the Orient, many made especially for them, and their distinctive antiqued gold finishes were produced under exclusive names such as “Florenza Gold” and “French Gold.”
The reverse of the links is stamped with the Florenza signature mark. Pieces marked with a copyright symbol date to after 1955. The necklace fastens with a hook closure and has an extender chain, making it adjustable.
Florenza jewellery was marketed in upscale department stores such as Lord & Taylor, Saks, and Bloomingdale’s , and remains highly collectible today and sought after by vintage jewellery enthusiasts.
