Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Nettie Rosenstein held many distinctions. She was one of the first recipients of the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award in 1938. She was awarded a Coty Award in 1947. And she was known for having some of the highest-priced wholesale clothing in New York City.

Back in the 1940s, with price tags ranging from $100 to $500, her clothes may have been out of the reach of most women, but they were well worth the price. Not only were they beautifully constructed out of fabulous fabrics, but Nettie Rosenstein was the Queen of Fit. She had fittings on five different models, who each represented the average women’s figure, to make sure each of her dresses would fit like a glove.

And in 1961, when she discontinued her fashion business and turned her attention to costume jewelry, perfume and accessories, she maintained her attention to detail and produced some beautiful pieces like today’s VPOD.

This stunning vintage cuff bracelet is beginning to show some signs of age, but really, aren’t we all? And I like the life a little wear brings to a piece like this. It’s not too shiny new, not too worn, but just right.

And that makes it a surefire statement piece for a vintage fashionista!
