✦ PROVENANCE & COLLECTOR NOTE
A highly desirable vintage Nettie Rosenstein signed necklace, featuring a substantial gold-tone coiled chain and a striking medallion pendant. Nettie Rosenstein was one of the most celebrated American fashion designers of the 20th century — the first woman to receive the Coty American Fashion Critics Award. Her jewelry, designed to complement her couture, is bold, sculptural, and deeply collectible. This piece is a rare find.✦ CONDITION
Vintage Very Good — This piece shows the honest patina of a life well-lived. There is visible wear consistent with age and use, presenting more as a warm, developed patina than surface damage. The coiled chain remains intact and structurally sound; the medallion is detailed and secure; the signature is clear; and the clasp functions perfectly. A beautiful and important collector's piece.✦ DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

✦ GRACE NOTE
Nettie Rosenstein understood, better than almost anyone, how to make a woman feel powerful, elegant, and completely herself. The coiled chain alone is a work of sculptural art, but paired with the medallion pendant, it becomes a true statement of intention. Wear it with pride. This is the kind of piece that gets passed down. -
