In the years following the Second World War, Europe experienced a tremendous increase in wealth and quality of life. After the worries of the war years, the shop windows shone with a new luxury, and jewellery and watches also served to visibly display the new joie de vivre to the outside world. Rich furnishings, clear geometries and especially the lustre of high-carat gold defined the image, which was ultimately also reinforced by Hollywood films of those years. One of these films was "Cleopatra". The monumental film from 1963 starring Elisabeth Taylor tells the life of the Egyptian pharaoh, based on Carlo Maria Franzero's novelistic biography "Cleopatra. Her life and times". This film gave rise to a real fashion, which was reflected in the jewellery sector above all in so-called fringe necklaces. One such fringed necklace from those years is presented here. The luxurious 14-karat gold necklace consists of a row of plate-like elements that become longer towards the centre. Almost like a shimmering textile, the gently flowing necklace caresses the neck of its wearer. The result is a necklace worthy of its namesake. According to the stamp, the necklace was made in the northern Italian province of Alessandria and dates from before 1968. It is beautifully preserved. A breathtaking yet easy-to-wear piece of jewellery that found its way to us here in Berlin.
