Description
Marilyn Monroe Personally Owned Clip-On Drop Earrings W/Notarized Letter of Provenance - These 1950s clip-on earrings were personally owned by Marilyn Monroe. The earrings are made of gold tone metal with white accents. The earrings come with a notarized letter of provenance from Marilyn Monroe's personal hairstylist Sydney Guilaroff, which states in part, "Marilyn gave me this pair of costume clip on gold metal earrings with white plastic accents around 1955 to add to my collection. Marilyn is the only one who wore them." Sydney 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. Measurements: 1.75" length.
