MAYFAIR Monday: Box #197

Black & Gold Coro Medallion Assemblage:
This assemblage is made up of a signed Coro medallion from the 1970's, a vintage chain with black glass beads and gold beads, one strand of black beads, one strand of gold beads, and one gold chain with black onyx stones.


I can't help think of Sam Sparro's Black & Gold when admiring Mayfair #197..
Ellie Goulding's cover is a close second.

Introducing MAYFAIR

In the 1920's, Coco Chanel incorporated costume jewelry into her fashion philosophy, catapulting fashion jewelry into the market. During the war years, many of the best designers and makers of fine jewelry moved to the fashion industry resulting in the high standard of craftsmanship.

These necklaces are made with brooches dating from the 1920's, 30's, and 40's.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Moisture is death to these pieces. Be careful to keep them free of water and perfume. Be gentle when arranging your necklaces.
