Description

The listing, KAFIN NEW YORK has ended.

Signed Kafin New York on closure tab.
This company was popular in the 50's & 60's.
Choker style (approx 16") in a goldtone metal with irregular shape blue-green stone and heavy flat weave links.
Needs a good cleaning, but I do not know enough about vintage jewelry to do it myself. Also, don't know how to grade condition. Shows some wear and clasp works.
Sorry could not get better pictures. Note, not sure about spot on stone. Looks like it can be cleaned off, but again I do not want to try.

The easiest way to clean vintage jewelry is with a soft bristle toot brush and IVORY bar soap! I am a vintage junkie and have a consignment shop! Nice auction! Just if you clean make sure you dry well with a clean terry towel!

Thanks for the cleaning tip, but think I'll leave it to someone else.

Is the wear in noticeable places or reverse side?

Slight wear on reverse side. Think a proper cleaning is all it needs.

Just an FYI, I am an antiques appraiser with over 25 years experience-water ruins vintage jewelry, never use it or Ivory soap. You get best results on most jewelry by using a baby's toothbrush and softly brushing.
