Box ( from late '40's) included. Jewelry all from 40's unless indicated within.
Asking $75 and if need be, plus $8.00 shipping (I will pay the difference) to the lower 48 states only(no where else). $83.00 U. S. postal money order sent in my name and address furnished upon confirmation of sale.
Most pieces were from stores such as Bonwit-Teller, Bergdorf Goodman and the like; hi-end stores in New York City with the exception of the off-white piece my uncle brought back with him from India in 1952 (possible) ivory (I don't know). AND "coral" necklace he bought in Saudi Arabia prior to 1950.
Pearl stickpin from Best, in New York City.
Do not ask if this is still available, if you are seeing this right now, it is available. It will be removed immediately when it is sold and in the post office enroute to the buyer (if they do choose to have it sent and not pick it up) U. S. postal money order only, no Venmo, no checks. No scams nor the like. Purchase is final, no returns. Thank you for your careful consideration.
AI states: "In 1940s New York, high-end stores offered mostly Akoya pearls, due to the increased accessibility of Japanese cultured pearls after their introduction in the late 1920s. Also available were natural pearls, which were considered the most magnificent and valuable, alongside emerging South Sea pearls and darker Tahitian pearls that were known for their beautiful dark hues and large sizes."
I do not know what kind of pearls they sre; but are aware that they were from a "good" store in New York City.
I am really unable to answer other questions (I have indicated all I know in aforementioned) as the parties these belonged to are deceased since 1972.
