Forstner Jewelry was founded in 1920 in Irvington, New Jersey. It specialized in gold-plated, silver, and solid gold jewelry. Forstner Jewelry was primarily known for its snake chain necklaces. Since the company went out of business in 1980, all Forstner jewelry has become rare and highly sought after by collectors. It is a triple, dense herringbone-style chain. In the 1940s and 1950s, Forstner produced women's jewelry collections with a multi-strand design. This is a collectible, high-quality, durable, real gold-plated, authentic, and elegant Forstner necklace.
* Jewelry plated with “Gold filled” (GF) technology is many times more durable than standard gold plated jewelry.GF is a patented and very durable type of metal in the USA. GF jewelry is made by layering 2 or 3 metals, one of which is gold, at very high temperatures. “Gold filled” gilding is performed by layering gold around the base metal, forming several layers of pure gold, carefully and several times enveloping the entire product. In this way, gold-plated jewelry does not change from contact with the skin, does not cause allergies, and is not afraid of water.
