Unmarked but Lisner style “lantern” parure – excellent condition- estate found!! ✨✨✨
For sale is a stunning and highly collectible mid-century grey-rhodium sautoir necklace and matching screw-back earrings set, circa 1955-1962.
This exact design is instantly recognized by every serious vintage costume-jewelry collector as the classic “lantern” or “pagoda” parure.
Why we attribute it to Lisner even though it is unmarked
• Identical ribbed cast lantern beads with raised scrollwork filigree
• Heavy twisted-rope chain in Lisner’s signature gauge and construction
• Classic Lisner grey-rhodium plating (matte/satin finish)
• Heavy oval-pad screw-back earring mechanisms that are identical to signed Lisner pieces of the same era.
Lisner did not begin consistently marking pieces until 1964-65. This lantern series was produced before that change and the overwhelming majority left the factory unsigned.
Measurements & Weight
• Necklace: 29 inches end-to-end (true sautoir length)
• Center lantern drop + two smaller lanterns with all original dangling balls
• Necklace weight: 60 grams
• Earrings (pair): 24 grams, screw-back (not clip)
✨✨Sellers Note: Unmarked and not professionally authenticated, but instantly recognizable as a classic high-quality 1950s–early 1960s American piece. The heavy cast lantern beads, twisted-rope chain, perfect grey-rhodium plating, and original dangling balls are hallmarks of the very best costume jewelry from that era. This is exactly the kind of bold, beautifully made set that serious collectors actively look for — signed or unsigned, it’s unmistakable.
