Vintage Italian Fringe Necklace
This beautifully crafted ‘Cleopatra’ collar fringe necklace, made in Italy during the 1980’s, is a striking example of late-20th-century jewellery. Crafted in 9K gold, the necklace features a series of lozenge-shaped drops that form a classic fringe design. Fringe necklaces have a long-standing history, originating from ancient jewellery traditions, where they were worn as symbols of status and adornment. This modern interpretation echoes those ancient forms while adding a contemporary Italian elegance.
The necklace has a good weight of 18.74 grams, lending it a luxurious feel that complements its intricate craftsmanship. It was exported from Italy for the UK market, as evidenced by the presence of UK import hallmarks for 9k gold. Each drop is meticulously designed, with the longest measuring 1.7cm, creating a graceful drape around the neckline. Measuring 41cm (16 inches) in length, it sits comfortably as a choker-style necklace, ideal for pairing with both formal and casual attire.
Size and Condition: This necklace is in excellent vintage condition, with all components well-maintained and securely attached. The fringe style is timeless, making this piece a versatile addition to any collection, ideal for those who appreciate the elegance and durability of Italian craftsmanship.
