Page 143 of Fred Rezazadeh's book "Costume Jewelry". Tortolani
is a premier name in silver production. Their beauti-fully
designed sculptural pieces, created in the 1960's-1970's, are
often three-dimen-sional and highly detailed. This floral
design necklace has an antiqued texture along the sides of each
of the leaves; the "buds" bring out the dimen-sion. Patina of
age still intact. [ larger view]
