Tortolani Silver Zodiac Pendant Necklace

Item #AH119138

This is from the extremely rare and highly desirable Tortolani Zodiac set. This jewelry was created in about 1960 and was very expensive at that time. The pendant is a massive 3 x 3-1/2", deeply sculpted with the signs of the Zodiac. The chain measures about 21-1/2" long, with hook clasp. Antiqued silver-tone finish. Marked Tortolani in script with a copyright symbol. No wear to plating or signs of use. Still has remnants of the string that held the original price tag. This set can be seen in a number of costume jewelry reference books including "Signed Beauties of Costume Jewelry" by Marcia Sparkles Brown, "Collectible Costume Jewelry" by Cherri Simonds, and "Warman's Jewelry, 2nd Edition" by Christie Romero (SOLD)
