* Vintage mid-century design, likely 1950s–1960sCastlecliff began marking its jewelry in the early 1940s, and during the 1950s designer William Markle helped establish the company’s bold, sculptural style using rhinestones, glass stones and other decorative materials. ConditionVery Good Vintage Condition.The gold-tone finish remains bright and attractive overall. All rhinestones visible are present. There is some minor variation/darkening in a few of the older rhinestones, which is typical age-related foil wear rather than damage and gives the piece its authentic vintage character. The mesh elements and dangling components are intact.Please review all photographs closely, as they are part of the description and show the exact piece being offered.
