Member of the Place Vendôme series. Silverplate version was introduced in the US in 1973.
|
Some were inscribed with the plating thickness in microns.
|
In most cases, the trim matched the plating but there were also some silverplated models that had goldplated trim.
|
Some of the early silverplated and goldplated Flammé oxidized, but can be easily removed with a jewelry polishing cloth. Once polished, I especially like the goldplated version which has a nice warm tone that is almost a rose gold color. This can be see here as compared to the yellow gold color of later models. |
