About the Item

A beautiful clip of the highest quality, like the very best silver and paste jewellery, by Eisenberg, in the form of a 'fruit', with a large cut paste stone surrounded by paste leaves.A rare and charming design. The fitting on the reverse is a double pronged clip, called a 'fur' clip, typical of jewellery at this time, though more suited to robust fabrics as it is a heavy brooch. The Eisenberg company specialised in dresses and suits and added the brooches to the clothing for sale. In the 1930s, they became so popular that they sold the brooches alone, made in both sterling silver and base metal.

Eisenberg Original Sterling Silver/Crystal Bow Brooch 1940s SEE CONDITION REPORT
By Eisenberg Originals
Located in Wilmslow, GB
A Vintage Eisenberg Original Bow Brooch. An ultra-rare treasure from the golden age of costume jewellery - this stunning 1940s vintage Eisenberg Original bow brooch is a true collector’s dream. Crafted in solid, weighty sterling silver and dripping with dazzling Austrian Swarovski crystals, it’s the kind of piece that will forever command attention. Eisenberg were among the most iconic American costume jewellery designers of the 1930s and ’40s, and their Eisenberg Originals were the very first jewellery line they released. Made between 1943 and 1948, this exceptional brooch showcases the intricate silverwork and top-tier stones that defined Eisenberg's earliest pieces. And this bow? Possibly the largest bow brooch they designed - its generous proportions and incredible detail make it feel like it leapt straight from the silver screen. The vintage sterling silver setting beautifully captures the soft curves and folds of a luxurious, floppy bow - constructed across multiple levels and giving it real depth and movement. And the crystals? A glittering mix of round and cushion cuts in various sizes, simply dazzle. Eisenberg’s stones are adored not only for their size and artistry but for their unrivalled cut, clarity, and sparkle - partly a result of their high lead content. A personal favourite, this is more than just a brooch - it’s a collectible vintage piece and a genuine slice of fashion history. Photos can only go so far - this is the kind of 1940s costume jewellery...
