This distinctive pearl necklace was designed by Joseff of Hollywood, who created jewelry for many films during Hollywood’s Golden Age. Because Joseff was not contracted to a particular studio, he was able to rent out his pieces to all of the film studios.

The above necklace first appeared on Kay Francis as Donna Lucia d’Alvadorez in the 1941 adaptation of Charley’s Aunt. In 1945 it appeared on Marsha Hunt as Constance Scott in The Valley of Decision. The following year saw it worn on the neck of Nella Walker as Mrs. Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Sr. in Two Sisters from Boston. 1947’s Northwest Outpost used it on Lenore Ulric as Baroness Kruposny. Ilona Massey was next to wear the piece as Madame Egelichi in the 1949 Love Happy.

In the 1952 adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier’s novel My Cousin Rachel, Olivia de Havilland wore the necklace as Countess Rachel Sangalletti Ashley, and it features somewhat in the plot of the production. Richard Burton’s character gives the necklace to Rachel as a symbolic gesture that he wishes to marry her, which sets the remainder of the story into motion. The passage in the novel describing the necklace says:

There were four strands. They fastened around the neck like a band, with a single diamond clasp.

The description in the novel obviously does not match its representation on screen, but it is a beautiful necklace nonetheless.

Finally, in 1987, the necklace was seen on Joan Collins’ character Alexis Carrington Colby in the episode of Dynasty entitled The Fair.

The necklace eventually went up for auction at Julien’s Auctions in the 2017 Joseff of Hollywood: Treasures from the Vault. The action describes the piece as:

A triple-strand, tiered necklace of alternating simulated diamonds and pearls with pearl drops. The necklace has four simulated mabe pearl medallions and is stamped on the back “Joseff Hollywood.”

Julien’s Auctions, the world-record breaking auction house to the stars, has announced that Property from JOSEFF OF HOLLYWOOD, master jeweler to the stars during the Golden Age of Hollywood, will head to the auction block this November. Screen icons, costume designers and fashionistas sought out Joseff’s dazzling and unique costume jewelry to be worn in films and at special events. Joseff’s works dazzled the red carpet, lit up the big screen and became signature pieces worn by a “Who’s Who” of Golden Hollywood. The concept of renting and loaning jewelry to Hollywood stars was original to Eugene Joseff.

Legendary stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Vivien Leigh, Judy Garland, Olivia de Havilland and Greta Garbo are among the impressive list of Hollywood’s biggest stars who wore Joseff’s designs.

Eugen Joseff, Rita Hayworth, Carmen and necklaces

Jeweller Eugen Joseff created a lot of beautiful pieces for movies.

In The Loves of Carmen (1948) Mr. Joseff' necklaces add extra boho chic to Rita Hayworth' gorgeous look.

Bearfoot gipsy girl and long colourful necklaces suit each other perfectly.

Coins and beads are stylish partners too.

If you want to try on yourself Carmen' (or Rita') jewellery, check Zikari' green and red Riri Necklaces and Kenneth Jay Lane' 3 Row Multi Coin Necklace.

When Carmen cheated on Jose with torero, she cheated on her beaded strands with statement necklace too.

I guess Carmen would like Butler & Wilson' black Baroque Chain Crystal And Teardrops Necklace and Kenneth Jay Lane' red Ruby And Clear Rhinestone Necklace as well.

P.S. In The Loves of Carmen (1948) Jose was played Glenn Ford, miss Hayworth' on-screen lover: he was Rita's partner in legendary Gilda (1946), The Lady in Question (1940) and Affair in Trinidad (1952).

Unfortunately, modern Hollywood completely forgot about this sweet «on-screen couples» tradition.

Tower of London (1939)

Tower of London (1939) - Hollywood horror puts its twist on history

Loosely based on the life of Richard III (played by Basil Rathbone), Tower of London follows the story of one of the most notorious monarchs in British history who, with the help of his bloodthirsty henchman Mord (Boris Karloff), systematically despatches anyone who stands between him and the throne of England. Looking at it now the historical accuracy of this 1939 Universal horror is doubtless…

This sparkling necklace is interesting because unlike many jewelry pieces in Hollywood that are attributed to Eugene Joseff (Joseff of Hollywood), Paramount was the only studio to have their own jewelry department. Because all of the films in question are attributed to Paramount studios, while it’s possible this is a Joseff of Hollywood piece, it likely came from the studio’s own jewelry collection.

The necklace was first seen in a 1941 publicity shot of Lupe Vélez. Lupe worked at several studios, including RKO and Columbia, but in 1941 she only made one film for Universal – Six Lessons from Madame La Zonga. This publicity photo of Vélez in the necklace was likely taken around the time of that filming.

The piece went on to be worn several more times, including on scream queen Evelyn Ankers as Isabel Lewis in the 1943 film The Mad Ghoul, followed by Helen Broderick as Glory Marlow Sr. in 1944’s Chip Off the Old Block, as well as Martha O’Driscoll as Katie Wells the following year in Under Western Skies.

The piece appeared two more times in the 1940s in publicity photos of actress Maria Montez, though it is unknown if these photos were taken in the early 40s or late 40s, as Montez was active at Universal throughout most of the decade.

In with the OLD & and Out with the NEW

Most of us love to get new things, be it a present or a treat we buy ourselves, even the everyday practical stuff we need is enjoyable to buy. Brand Spanking New is shiny and perfect. Then you have the old stuff…old chairs, old tables, old clothes etc…some of which are our favorites and we cannot possibly live without and others just invisible until they break and we dispose of them. I adore old things, especially Jewellery, Vintage Costume Jewellery to be precise!

The 1920′s 40′s & 50′s are my favorite periods for costume jewellery, especially post war 50′s when everyone wanted fresh, new, bright, and exciting things. Especially when it came to fashion.

Costume Jewellery from the Art Deco Period right through to the 1960’s was something very special with designers such as;

Coco Chanel - Paris - 1920’s - Present

Lea Stein - Paris - 1950’s - Present

Coro - Providence Rhode Island - 1901 - 1979

Hattie Carnegie - New York - 1918-1976

Eisenberg Chicago -1930 - Present

Miriam Haskell - New York -1924 - Present

Eugene Joseff - Hollywood -1935-Present

To name but a few......

Trifari Vintage Jewellery

In 1910 - A 20 year old Italian Immigrant from Napoli called Gustavo Trifari, travelled to America to make his fortune. He founded "Trifari and Trifari" with his uncle. However his uncle left the partnership after few years and Gustavo continued the company under the name of "Trifari."

Leo Krussman and Carl Fishel joined Trifari in 1917 and then the company name was changed to."Trifari, Krussman and Fishel” Any jewelry from this period with the “KTF” mark, is very rare and would be a fantastic find for any avid collectors. In 1930, Alfred Philippe was hired as head designer for Trifari. Philippe's background designing extremely high end fine jewelry for firms like Cartier, helped Trifari gain the reputation of Glamour and Style. This took the company to the top of it’s game alongside other high end jewelry designers. It was then that the company began to really take off.

The Company name was changed back to "Trifari" in the 1940′s and a Trifari Crown logo was stamped on the pieces.

Gustavo Trifari and his sons ran the company until 1975. It was then sold onto the Hallmark Jewellery Company until 1988 and then taken over by company called Crystal Brands.Trifari was then bought by Chase Capital Partners and Lattice Holding Co, a division of the Monet Group.

During this period, the last of the Limited Edition, signed Trifari Jewelry, was produced and sold by QVC, making avid collectors very excited to be able to purchase some of the last Trifari signed pieces.

In 2000 the Monnet Group was purchased by Liz Claiborne and it was then that the quality dropped, although Liz Claiborne continues to produce Trifari jewellery but these pieces are not signed.
