Joseff of Hollywood Necklace & Earrings

A wonderful original vintage unworn Joseff of Hollywood Necklace with matching earrings c.1950/60.

Joseff began in 1928, when Eugene Joseff  visited Hollywood costume designer and friend Walter Plunkett . Joseff noticed that all the jewelry was modern even for period films.  Joseff began working with the costume designers and wardrobe departments to create jewelry that went with the era of the film. He plated the jewelry in a Russian Gold technique  that gave the jewelry a matte finish which worked well with the studio lights because it did not pick up a glare , also its antique finish allowed the details to show up better on film. At one point in the golden era of Hollywod, it is said that 95% of jewelry in the movies was by Joseff. In the 1930's Joseff began making jewelry to sell to exclusive stores around the world. He believed that every woman should be able to feel like a movie star.
