SCHIAPARELLI: HAUTE
COUTURE GP DEMI-PARURE FAUX TURQUOISE CABS AQUA AB CRYSTALS
For your consideration,
an Opulent and absolutely beautiful haute couture vintage set by iconic mogul
fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Both earrings are
signed “Schiaparelli” on the clip backs. The
brooch is not signed.
This set is one of the
most well-known designs by Schiaparelli and is MEGA RARE, so the pieces usually fetch a handsome price. The design features round and marquise "tablet" shaped turquoise glass cabochons and AB blue round
cut crystals. The jewels of the earrings and brooch are mounted in a cluster in the center of the oval shaped disc of the
earrings and rectangular shaped disc of the brooch. The stones are held in place by small prongs.
The clusters are riveted to the base of
the dish shaped discs. The earrings fasten with paddle shaped clip backs.
The construction of all
pieces in this set is solid and the finish is smooth and
exquisite. The pieces are all are fairly heavy. Each
earring weighs 12 grams. The brooch weighs 26 grams
Dimensions: Brooch ~ 1 ½ x 1 ½” x ½” in
thickness: Earrings ~ 1 ½” x 1” x in thickness.
Condition: Overall condition is excellent for their age. The stones are in excellent condition no chips or cracks. and are all original. The gold plated metal is clean, and fairly shiny. I have not noticed any patina on any piece, however, there is a small amount of surface wear to the gold plating on the underside. It is not distracting or unsightly and is consistent with age. These will clean up nicely if done professionally, however, in their current condition, they are still exquisitely beautiful. The earrings fit snug with a bit of pinch. The pin of the brooch is fairly straight, sharp, sturdy and fits into the roll over latch which fastens securely.
Note: This wonderful vintage iconic
earrings and brooch by Schiaparelli which will accessorize well with
almost any outfit. This set was purchase from an estate sale in
upper East Side Manhattan many years ago while l was a student at
Fashion Design School at Parsons New York. It is part of my fashion designer
accessory and vintage jewelry collection. It has been in storage for
years and may need slight polishing. PLEASE REMEMBER, THAT
MOST VINTAGE PIECES ARE FRAGILE DUE TO AGE and should be gently
worn and handled with care.
