Anne Klein's Faux Pearl and Rhinestone Studded 10K Goldplated Chain Necklace c. 1970's

Born Hannah Golofsky 3 August 1923 in Brooklyn, Anna Klein has become synonymous with American style, and a pioneer in the fashion world. In the early 1940s, Hannah marries Ben Klein and takes the name of Anne Klein. In 1948, she and her husband opened the company Junior Sophisticates. And in 1968, Anna Klein together with her second husband Matthew Rubinstein founded the company “Anne Klein and Co” and “Anne Klein Studio design”.

For over 30 years, Anne Klein understood what women want very well. So, in the early 1970s, under her brand name, Anne Klein began producing watches and fashion jewelry. For creating high-quality jewelry for women in the classical style, she used matte and glossy metals, glass, rhinestones, cabochons and artificial pearls of the highest quality.

This classic gold chain is embedded with faux pearls and clear rhinestones to create a textured, chunky look. It has the lion logo in the clasp, and the Anne Klein signature on the back. Purchased from an estate sale, condition should be assumed to be vintage although it was purchased in a box with original price tags. Has no signs of wear. Has lobster claw closure.
