This set is truly striking! An attention grabber no doubt. The Art Glass (or Lucite) and teardrop givré cabochons used throughout are incredible. The gorgeous colors float through the teardrop cabochons like water of blue, pink, lavender and purple. I would describe the art glass much like dragons breath, fire opal or cats eye used in so many other designer made jewelry. Julia C. Carroll features this set in the book, "Collecting Costume Jewelry 202". She describes this set as having confetti Lucite stones and teardrop-shaped rhinestones. The author explains that this is the most recognizable and beautiful of the Florenza designs. Julia continues to describe this set as having teardrop-shaped rhinestones which alternate from blue to lavender depending on the lighting. The textured antique-gold-tone metal, a trait of Florenza jewelry, enhances this effect. All pieces are signed Florenza©.

Florenza Jewelry History —

Daniel Kosoff launched his New York business in the late 1930s. The Florenza name was first used to mark jewelry in 1949 or 1950. The Florenza hallmark was a sobriquet for Kasoff’s wife Florence. This trademark was used by Dan Kasoff Inc.

Along with the production of their own line they also designed and produced jewelry, frames, ring boxes, pin cushions and lipstick holders, which were then sold to jobbers and wholesalers. The distinctive style of Florenza is easily spotted by many of their unique designs. The pieces you will find under the Florenza name have a Renaissance and Victorian feel with gold-tone metal, cameos, faux opals, art glass and many variations of rhinestones.

Their use of quality materials, workmanship and unique designs make their individualized pieces very collectible. The company ceased operations in 1981.
