Vintage Originals by Phyliss Heart 1/20th 12k GF Pendant Necklace
Details
Vintage Phyliss Blue Rhinestone 1/20th 12k GF Pendant Chain Necklace is simply stunning. This is a hard to find, unusual Mid Century piece of jewelry that a versatile piece in that it can worn as a pendant necklace or removed from its chain and worn as a brooch.
It is signed Phyllis, and has a very striking and unusual look to the piece. Yet it is very characteristic to the style of the designer. The pendant brooch is shaped like a heart with clear diamond like rhinestones surrounding the outer edge, along with a gorgeous swirl or loop of stones enhancing across the top of the heart.
The most beautiful and eye-catching part are the stunning aquamarine blue baguette rhinestones
placed in the center of the heart surrounded by diamond like rhinestones. This makes for a very classy and unique piece.
Excellent condition, there is one darkened rhinestone and some light wear to the metal. The necklace measures 22" long and the pendant brooch measures 1 3/4" tall and 1 1/2" wide and is signed 1/20th 12k GF Phyliss. The necklace has a C clasp.
This jewelry comes from a dear friend and a truly exceptional lady. While having an antique shop, she has collected these fine designer pieces for the last 40 years and has an incredibly discerning eye for quality as well as uniqueness. The extensive nature of her collection has meant that she has not worn most pieces more than once.
It is my distinct pleasure that she has chosen to pass her extensive collection on to me. I am in the process of acquiring her complete collection and know that I will be keeping some special pieces for myself. I will also be offering some for sale and please know that with each piece comes a wonderful legacy of a very special lady that makes this jewelry all the more special.
Her collection includes some of the most desirable designers; Boucher, Carnegie, Ciner, DeLizza and Elster (aka Juliana), Eisenberg, Haskell, Hobe, Lane, Philippe for Trifari, Schreiner, Schiaiparelli, Vendome, and Weiss as well as Coro, Coventry, Kramer, Krementz, Lisner, and Trifari.
Numerous pieces are book pieces and many had matching pieces so many demi-parures are available. I acquired so much of this jewelry that I will be working on offering it in the store for years to come.
There are additional antique and vintage necklaces, brooches, and earrings in the Designer, Necklaces, Pendant, Earrings, as well as the Bakelite, Lucite, and Other Plastics Studio Categories.
