Golden Age Hollywood Jewelry

This is a fantastic article! http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/lost-hollywood-jewelry-trove-uncovered/

Most of the jewelry in old Hollywood movies and on red carpets was faux and rented. The guy who started this, Joseff, was pretty amazing and his company (run by his wife until 2010) keeps all the old pieces. What an amazing collection!

Oh wow. Awesome article. How I would love to just shut myself in there and look at everything! No no, try on everything!

Thank you for the article. I certainly hope some A list star has the courage to wear one of his spectacular pieces to an important A list event. It would be great if they could regain their rightful place in history. But then again, if they did, they probably wouldn't be in a little obscure warehouse any more!

Oh wow, AWESOME article. Some of those pieces are just insane!!! Imagine the pieces the man could've made had he not died so tragically young. It's awesome that his wife kept it going.

Very innovative and bespoke designs. I love them all and would love to see them worn again instead of having them languish in a warehouse.

Great read. My grandmother was a big fan of costume jewelry, and she wore it well. Even if it was just to play a game of cards, she would dress up. She was a tall blonde and her nickname was "Ginger" (for Ginger Rogers).
