Vintage Bergere Necklace With Feather Pendant

This necklace is really one of my favorites! I often use this for plain shirts. I bought this here in the Philippines from someone who used to sell many kinds of jewelry from Hong Kong. FYI: all Bergere (accent mark over the 2nd e) necklaces are well worth collecting because the company did business in the 1940s to 1970s.

Bergere was known to produce high quality costume jewelry from 1946 to 1979. Vogue and Hapers Bazaar ads from the period are lovely full page magazine placements featuring a wide variety of necklace and bracelet designs. It was sold at high quality department stores such as Nordstroms, Lord & Taylor and Marshall Fields. The company name was most likely inspired by the Bergere Folies a French opera house of its fame and popularity from the 1890s through the 1920s. Considered scandalous in its day it is still operational as of 2009.(http://bijoulerie.blogspot.com/2010/03/vintage-bergere-necklace-silver.html)
