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. Though unsigned, they resemble pieces made by Louis Rousselet. The clues are the glass button at the earlobe and the beauty and uniqueness of the beads. (He often topped necklace box clasps with a button-shaped glass bead.) I am not certain about the maker, however, because of the style of the ear clip. Nonetheless, these jewels are fun!USD$375.00USD$375.00

Pearl & Glass Bead Pendant Earrings by Louis Rousselet
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese glass bead earrings have clusters in greens, purples, and reds, along with tiny faux pearls. This pair was made by Louis Rousselet, according to Ginger Moro (author of European Designer Jewelry and a Rousselet expert), who sold them to me. Though marked "Charlin" on the ear clips, Moro stated that these pendants are "a re-issue of an earlier design from the '50s using vintage glass beads and pearls". This maker's beads are highly-coveted because they were all hand-wound and finished. The colors and design make this pair very versatile and easy to wear for day or evening.USD$375.00USD$375.00
Pearl & Glass Flower Earrings
1950s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese vintage flower earrings have clusters of tiny faux pearls with glass flowers and leaves. The design and style of the beads remind me of the work of the French maker Louis Rousselet, but I can't attribute this pair to that company. The construction and findings are inconsistent with documented work by the firm. Although these earrings are unmarked, I believe they were made in France or somewhere in Europe. I also think the beads probably came from the Rousselet workshops, which were a major worldwide supplier of hand-made beads. These earrings are so lovely and unique, I don't think their maker really matters. Please note that although these ear clips 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$375.00USD$375.00
Pearl Basket Dangle Earrings from France
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese pearl basket earrings were possibly made by Louis Rousselet, based on the horseshoe-shaped ear clip he typically used. Each pendant has a basket of glass pearls suspended from a large, single pearl. 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. Add a single strand of pearls and look extraordinary!USD$345.00USD$345.00
Pearl Cluster Dangle Earrings from France
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese pearl cluster earrings resemble bunches of grapes. Each is suspended from a large glass-pearl button mounted on a white-metal filigree back. Though unsigned, these ear clips have the horseshoe-shaped fastener typically used by Louis Rousselet. The button-topped mounting reminds me of his button-topped box clasps for necklaces. Moreover, the unusual shape of the glass pearls could only have been made by someone of his caliber. Because Rousselet jewelry was rarely signed on the pieces and because so little has been documented, I can't be sure if these earrings were designed by him or made by another company using his beads. Either way, 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.

Pearl, Diamanté & Gold Flower Necklace/Brooch & Earrings Set
1950s Jewelry, Costume Jewelry Sets / Parures, Marcel Boucher Jewelry, Vintage Brooches & Pins, Vintage Earrings, Vintage NecklacesThis vintage gold flower necklace and earrings set from 1950 is a '3-for-1' jewel! It has a trio of heart-shaped blossoms that form the centerpiece, which can be detached and worn as a brooch. The ear clips are single blossoms. 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
Pearl, Gemstone Bead & Rondelle Earrings
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsPearl and gemstone earrings by Louis Rousselet are a welcome and versatile addition to any jewelry wardrobe. These 1950s French ear clips feature faux pearls in various sizes, with accents of ruby, sapphire, emerald and amethyst hand-wound-glass leaves along with rondelles. Though unsigned, these earrings match a signed necklace and earrings set that I have moved from my personal collection to offer for sale. The type of ear clip used is another clue to the creator, who usually signed his pieces with only paper hang tags. Rousselet was the premier faux pearl and bead maker in the first half of the 20th century. These earrings are a beautiful example of his work. Although the coating on some pearls appears to have bubbles, I think they are intended. Scroll down to see the magnificent necklace and earrings set in the same design.USD$395.00USD$395.00
