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 store 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, in particular, the gleam 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 jewelry sector, particularly in so-called fringe necklaces. One such fringed necklace from those years is presented here. The luxurious necklace made of high-carat gold consists of a row of plate-like elements suspended below a masonry-like upper section. Small floral ornaments are set in between, giving the piece a playful touch. 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 hallmark, the necklace was made in the northern Italian province of Vicenza and dates from around 1965. It is in very good condition. A breathtaking yet easy-to-wear piece of jewelry that found its way to us here in Berlin.
