QuickviewAmethyst & Filigree Drop Art Deco Earrings
Vintage Earrings, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$195.00Faceted pale-amethyst-glass teardrops with silver-tone filigree caps are the focal point of these stunning and elegant 1920s Art Deco earrings. A faceted diamanté sits at the ear lobe, and tiny pale amethyst glass and crystal stones as well as marcasites dot the space in between. The only flaw in these long and hard-to-find earrings is that the tiny stones are different in each earring, but who cares? In my opinion, it’s the pale amethyst drop that counts! These screw-back earrings can be modified for pierced ears. You could wear these earrings with several amethyst Art Deco pieces shown below – scroll down to see them.

QuickviewAmethyst 1940s Earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli
Vintage Earrings, 1940s Jewelry, Elsa Schiaparelli JewelryUSD$150.00These classic and classy emerald-cut, amethyst glass late-1940s ear clips by Elsa Schiaparelli are Retro Modern in design but 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 amethyst. I have a faux pearl bracelet with a similar clasp, also by Schiaparelli, which I will include with this purchase. (The clasp of the bracelet is lovely, but the quality of the pearls is disappointing and the strands need re-stringing – hence, the no-cost offer.)

QuickviewAmethyst, Diamanté & Rose Vermeil Sterling 1940s Brooch or Pair of Fur Clips by Coro
Double-Clip Brooches, 1940s Jewelry, Coro JewelryUSD$195.00Two rows of amethyst-glass navettes separated by two rows of diamanté sit at the center of diamanté-studded folds of rose-gold-plated sterling silver that form this 1940s Duette (Coro’s name for their double-clip brooch). This piece, which was created for the company’s high-end line, can be worn as a brooch or as separate fur clips. The latter work well as embellishments on heavier fabric, such as wool blazers and dresses. My camera picked up two stones that appear to be a different shade of purple, but this difference cannot be seen by the naked eye. You can see the utility patent for the brooch mechanism here, shown below Coro’s name.
