In the years following World War II, Europe experienced a tremendous increase in wealth and quality of life. After the sorrows of the war years, the displays of the stores shone in new luxury, and not least jewellery and watches served to visibly show the new joie de vivre to the outside world. Luxurious materials, clear geometries and especially the shine of high-carat gold defined the image, which was ultimately also reinforced by Hollywood films of those years. One of those films was "Cleopatra". The 1963 monumental film starring Elisabeth Taylor recounts the life of the Egyptian pharaoh, based on Carlo Maria Franzero's novelistic biography "Cleopatra. Her Life and Times". This film sparked a real fashion, which was reflected in the jewellery sector, especially in so-called fringe necklaces. Such a fringe necklace of those years is presented here. The luxurious necklace made of high carat gold consists of a series of plate-like elements, which in graduation become longer towards the center. Almost like a shimmering textile, the gently flowing necklace caresses the wearer's neck. The result is a necklace worthy of its namesake. According to the hallmark, the necklace was made in the northern Italian province of Alessandria and dates to before 1968. It is beautifully preserved. A stunning and yet highly wearable piece that found its way to us from Nuremberg. Please also note the matching bracelet!
