Description
Marilyn Monroe's Personally Owned Clip-On Drop Earrings From The Sydney Guilaroff Collection W/Notarized Letter of Provenance - These silver metal clip-on drop earrings were personally owned by Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s. The piece comes with a notarized letter of provenance from Marilyn Monroe's personal hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff, which states in part, "This pair of quarter size silver metal Florentine design clip-on hoop earrings were left in my studio when she changed to get ready for a party around 1953. Marilyn was pretty irresponsible with her things and when I told her that it was here, she told me to add them to my collection." Guilaroff was a hair stylist during Hollywood's Golden Age who was the first to receive on-screen credit in films. He worked for more than forty years at the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios on more than a thousand films, and was instrumental in crafting many of the hairstyles which became the signature looks for numerous film stars. Guilaroff was a friend, stylist, and confidante to many Golden Age stars including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Audrey Hepburn along with Marilyn Monroe, and styled Marilyn's hair for her funeral in 1962. According to our seller, this item was acquired in person from Guilaroff years ago by an avid collector who has since passed and whose mother is now liquidating the collection. Measurements: 1.5" length.
