- Frederick Mosell – 'Draped Ribbon', Gold-Plated Finish with White Wash – Late 1940s/50s - Necklace

Mossell signed articulated collar, composed of wide segments in textured gold-colored metal. The piece features a 'white wash' finish, a thin white layer originally applied to the relief areas to highlight the structure and enhance the draped effect, characteristic of American jewelry from the mid-20th century.

Mosell creations were produced in small series and distributed in high-end department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, or Lord & Taylor — stores frequented by an affluent clientele seeking high-quality fashion jewelry pieces. This selective distribution explains the rarity and high positioning of Mosell jewelry in the current market.
