Vintage 1950s JOSEPH WIESNER 5th Ave New York | Brilliant Rhodium-Plated Crystal and Glass Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings Set | Original Box
WOW! This stunning parure in its original presentation box is a really rare find.
Vintage jewelry from Joseph Wiesner of 5th Avenue New York is highly collectible. This set, dating to the early 1950s, belongs to that cohort of jewelry referred to as 'Hollywood Regency' or the 'Golden Age of Hollywood'.
This parure harks back to a bygone age of glamour when classically trained jewelers combined the finest in design and artistry with the highest quality semi-precious metals and stones to replicate the offerings of exclusive high-street boutiques.
While you might find an individual piece of Wiesner jewelry — a necklace, a bracelet, some earrings — it is extremely rare to not just find a matching set, but also one that is in its original clam-shell presentation case.
Importantly, Wiesner jewelry is exceptionally well made. Each rhinestone is fully faceted and prong-set into its rhodium backing; the bracelet is complete with its original safety chain, and the clips on the earrings are tight and secure.
Above all, this stunning parure demonstrates how vintage jewelry of this caliber delivers incomparable and unbeatable value when compared to the tawdry offerings of high-street jewelry chains.
