Goldette, a brand of vintage costume jewelry, was known for its intricate and often Victorian-inspired designs. Founded by Ben Gartner in New York City, Goldette pieces were popular from the 1950s through the 1970s. The brand was particularly recognized for its use of filigree, faux pearls, and rhinestones, creating pieces that resembled fine jewelry.
Goldette jewelry often featured layered charms and pendants, reflecting a romantic and nostalgic aesthetic. The lantern or lamppost design, as seen in this pin, was a recurring motif, showcasing the brand's attention to detail and craftsmanship. These pieces are now sought after by collectors for their unique designs and historical significance in the world of costume jewelry.
