Vintage Italian 9ct Gold Cleopatra Fringe Necklace, c.1960

A distinctive vintage Cleopatra fringe necklace in 9ct yellow gold, made in Italy and dating to circa 1960. Its continuous articulated design follows the neckline in a graceful graduated sweep, from 0.5cm at the shoulders to 1.8cm at the centre, creating a fluid drape with substantial presence. Finished with a tongue-and-box clasp and an additional figure-of-eight safety catch, this versatile necklace transitions easily from everyday wear to evening. Italian-made and hallmarked, it is a compelling example of mid-century gold jewellery.
