Fenichel

Vintage Classic Fenichel Austrian crystal baguette choker necklace

Description

Design: It features alternating emerald cut/baguette and round chaton Austrian crystal rhinestones, prong set into a bright silver tone metal backing (likely rhodium-plated). The Clasp: It utilizes a J-hook closure or a standard fold-over clasp mechanism with an extension row of round rhinestones. Collector History: The Fenichel Novelty Company was founded in New York City by brothers Louis and Max Fenichel, operating from 1925 until roughly 1959. Known for their high quality craftsmanship, they sourced premium Austrian crystals that rivaled top tier makers like Eisenberg. Because they frequently only signed the necklaces in matching sets, their pieces are highly sought after by collectors.
