Vintage Napier Book Piece Goldtone "Peach" Moonglow Dangle Clip Earrings, c1964

About the Item

Goldtone and a brown/tan "peach" moonglow resin dangle butterfly clip back earrings. Circa 1964. Marked "Napier." Identical earrings are shown on pg 372 of Melinda L. Lewis & Henry Swen's book "The Napier Co.: Defining 20th Century American Costume Jewelry." Measure: 1.5 inches high by 0.94 inches wide. Condition: Very good; Minor darkening to metal in a few places, only noticeable upon close inspection. Vintage Napier jewelry was made in Meridan, Connecticut and is very high quality and desirable. In the 1950s, jewelry by Napier was worn by celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Doris Day, Mamie Eisenhower and Miss America. A necklace sold by Napier in the 1980s or 1990s could cost $100 or more. The plant in Meridan was closed in 2000 and the company sold in 2002, so while the company name still exists, the jewelry is now mass produced.

  • Vintage Trifari Faux-Turquoise & Clear Rhinestone Clip Earrings, 1949
    By Alfred Philippe for Trifari
    Located in Easton, PA
    Oval goldtone pave round clear and cabochon faux-turquoise clip earrings. Marked crown "Trifari" and "Des. Pat. No 151554." It is an Alfred Philippe design, and the clear rhinestone version of the brooch & earrings was featured in Vogue in 1949. Measure: 1 inch long by 3/4 inches wide. Condition: Very good; some minor metal wear. This is a rarer color combination for these earrings; they are normally found with just pave clear rhinestones. Trifari is an American jewelry company founded in 1925 which sold costume jewelry to the middle to high end market. In 1930, Alfred Philippe, an immigrant from France, joined the company and became its lead designer. Philippe in his previous position in Paris had collaborated with Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, which influenced his designs for Trifari. In the 1930s, Trifari's jewelry was frequently used in Broadway productions. Their designs were also popular in Europe, owned by the Countess of Polignac as well as madame Lanvin's daughter and the director of Lanvin. Trifari also designed two sets of faux-pearl jewelry for Mamie Eisenhower. In 1955, Trifari won a landmark lawsuit protecting its copyrighted designs which were being copied by other costume jewelry companies. Early jewelry, jewelry featured in advertisements, or by well-known designers like Diane Love, Kunio...
