Onyx, Emerald & Diamanté Dangle Earrings
1950s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese diamanté dangle earrings are inset with emerald enamel accents and have additional sparkling stones at the earlobes. Onyx-glass hoops form the bottom of these lovely and versatile pendants. The ear wires for pierced ears are original, but the lever backs are unmarked. These earrings are probably European in origin. Though Art Deco in style, something about this pair makes me think they may be from a later Revival era. Nevertheless, they are beautiful!

Pastel Art Glass Earrings from France
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese art glass earrings feature pale pink, green and blue beads that dangle on chains suspended from a pink glass button. The pastel-colored beads in different shapes and sizes have white striations. These 1950s ear clips are lovely and versatile, and have lots of movement.

Pearl & Glass Flower Earrings
1950s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese vintage flower earrings are beautiful and three-dimensional. They have clusters of tiny faux pearls with glass flowers and leaves that I've confirmed were all made by Louis Rousselet. However, the construction and findings are inconsistent with documented work by the firm. Although these earrings are unmarked, I believe they may have been made by Madeleine Rivière, another creator of costume jewelry for haute couture. These ear clips are so lovely and unique, I don't think their maker really matters. Please note that although they are not mirror images, the lack of symmetry – which is not unusual in hand-strung pieces – does not detract from their appearance. What a great choice for a bride!USD$395.00USD$395.00
Pearl Basket Earrings by Louis Rousselet
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese pearl basket earrings were made by Louis Rousselet. The horseshoe-shaped ear clip the company typically used is one clue.

It's held in place by a cluster of glass pearls mounted on a round, white-metal filigree back. This part is designed to adorn the earlobe. These ear clips are as perfect for a wedding, prom, or special occasion as they are for everyday wear. Let a single strand of pearls adorn your neck and look extraordinary!USD$395.00USD$395.00

They are a stunning display of many of the company's signature attributes: their button-shaped ("Californian") bead at the earlobe, the teardrop shaped beads "en bouquet" and the horseshoe-shaped ear clips. These beautiful earrings are right for day, evening or bridal/wedding/prom wear. You can see these jewels on my favorite model in this blog post.

The gold-plated fretwork has swirled pavé edges that embrace champagne-colored faux pearls. Attach the brooch to the snake chain by inserting the pin stem through the necklace loops. Pretty clever, eh! While the pendant appears slightly off-center on the chain, its position was fixed at manufacture. Please note that this necklace (which measures 14 3/8″) was made for a slim neck, but you could easily add a chain extender. Wear the pieces together or separately with complimentary contemporary jewels.USD$295.00USD$295.00
