Vintage Rare Bogoff Crystal Necklace

This beautiful crystal necklace is substantial in weight and quality. All crystals but one are present. It is not apparent as I almost missed it. The clasp still works well and is quite secure. The necklace is 16" long and the heart has a 1.5" drop from the top of the crystal on the chain. Henry Bogoff’s jewelry is known for its sophistication, excellent construction, superior rhodium plating and top-of-the-line materials. He was especially fond of incorporating heart, crescent and lace designs into his creations. All of his jewelry came with a lifetime warranty—he was that certain of its quality. “Jewels by Bogoff” were sold in middle market stores such as Sears as well as the most luxurious stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. With the end of World War II and the resultant demand for luxury merchandise, the Bogoffs eventually had showrooms in New York City and Los Angeles in addition to their home base of Chicago. Henry manufactured his jewelry in relatively limited quantities, so that (1) it will take some searching around to find collectibles and (2) once you find a piece, it is unlikely that you will see it at every turn.
