About Elsa Schiaparelli Jewelry

This Elsa Schiaparelli jewelry collection features pieces from the 1940s-1950s. You will find bracelets, earrings, and brooches in extraordinary designs and distinctive materials. Elsa Schiaparelli, along with her arch-rival Coco Chanel, was responsible for the acceptance and success of costume jewelry in the 1920s. Both women designed specific pieces to adorn their haute couture. Schiaparelli believed that costume jewelry, in addition to being an essential part of fashion design, was an art form in its own right. She collaborated with many jewelry designers as well as with Surrealist artists who were her friends.

    Amethyst Earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli

    , ,
    These amethyst costume earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli feature the single, large emerald-cut stones that were so popular in the 1940s. Although classic and classy, this pair of ear clips is really hard to photograph. The stones are open back (without any green, as the photos may suggest) in a silver-tone setting. The actual color is a deep, regal purple. Earrings like these never go out of style!

    Citrine & Diamanté Spray on Gold Leaf Brooch

    , ,
    This citrine pin by Elsa Schiaparelli is a lovely example of 1950s tailored jewelry. A richly-textured, gold-plated leaf forms the base. The top layer has citrine-glass-stone flowers with pavé silver-tone stems. The level of detail is superb: in addition to the elaborate, layered construction, the leaf has visible veins and a furled bottom on its front as well as texture on the back. I’m not sure which way this jewel was intended to be worn, so I’m showing both orientations in the photos – take a look and decide which you prefer.

    Citrine, Pearl & Gold 1950s Brooch & Earrings Set by Elsa Schiaparelli

    , , , ,
    This Schiaparelli earrings and brooch set from the 1950s features a large citrine glass stone surrounded by tiny pearls in an elaborate, antiqued, gold-plated setting.

You can see the utility patent for the ear clip here, below the names Frederick A. Ballou, Jr. & Rogers T. Stafford.

    Gold Leaf & Art Glass Brooch by Elsa Schiaparelli

    , ,
    This art glass brooch from the late-1940s is described by jewelry historian Vivienne Becker as a “dancing openwork leaf” (Fabulous Costume Jewelry). It is set with emerald, ruby, sapphire and amber cabochons in dog-tooth prongs. The outline of the gold-tone leaf and stem are textured. This versatile and elegant piece closes with a roll-over safety clasp. I think this jewel was meant to be worn with the leaf pointing down, as shown in the first photo, but the third photo shows the leaf pointing up – you decide which you prefer!

    Golden & Brown Topaz & Gold Clover Earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli

    These clover earrings by Schiaparelli have three faceted, shield-cut topaz-glass stones – two golden and one brown – with citrine accents. The exotic three-sided shape of the large stones enhances the three-leaf clover design in gold-tone metal. These details and the elaborate construction of the earring backs exemplify the ingenuity and quality of this fashion house. This color combination – which is perfect for those who like to wear warm colors – can be found in other Schiaparelli jewels. You can see the utility patent for the earring clasp here, shown below the names Frederick A. Ballou, Jr. & Rogers T. Stafford.

    Onyx & Aurora Borealis Brooch by Elsa Schiaparelli

    , ,
    This vintage rhinestone brooch is a stunning, three-dimensional 1950s jewel by Elsa Schiaparelli. It is formed by three layered flowers. The centers are clusters of onyx-glass beads that sit atop petals of onyx glass and Aurora Borealis diamantés. This iridescent coating on the navettes reflects spectacular colors, creates a sense of movement, and gives this piece so much life. These effects are hard to capture in photos. The brooch setting is silver-tone metal with a roll-over safety clasp. If red is your color, scroll down to see the same design in that fiery hue. Wear either piece to create an unforgettable look!
