Other brand - JOMAZ (Mazer Brothers) – Lion Pendant Necklace – Collectible – Late 1970s - USA - Necklace

JOMAZ jewelry comes from the house founded by Joseph Mazer, heir to the style developed in the 1920s by the Mazer family in New York. The brand stands out for its luxurious approach to costume jewelry: thick gold plating, sculpted volumes, and bold animal motifs.
In the late 1970s, the JOMAZ style (Joseph Mazer Jo+Maz) reached its full maturity, just before the brand's disappearance in 1981. This necklace belongs to that last creative period.

The pendant features a stylized lion, carved in a deep-textured gold metal, with green enamel eyes that enhance the presence and character of the motif. The radiating structure framing the head evokes a solar aura — a typical graphic element of statement pieces produced by JOMAZ on the eve of the house's closure.

JOMAZ creations from the late 1970s are now highly sought after, both for their quality of craftsmanship and for their place in the final chapters of 20th-century American costume jewelry.
