About the Item
Featuring five sparkly black opaque spinels with diamond-shaped facets and splintery vitreous surfaces, along with bezel-set champagne diamonds with yellow or peach reflections in sunlight, these unsigned mid-century Buccellati-style burnished-silver clip earrings were most likely handcrafted before U.S-copyright protection began in 1955. To achieve the textural and reflective intricacies that are appreciated on close inspection, the artisan used casting, finishing tools and wire. Notably, by the early 1950s, brown diamonds were increasingly used in jewelry after gem importers introduced them in colors of "champagne" and "cognac", which are the adjectives most often used for them today.
Between the crystals, six round faceted brown diamonds are bezel set in silver for alternate white and grey reflections in a five-point concave shape, which recalls a starfish when viewed from the back. Unlike the smooth round bezels on each point, the sole centered fluted bezel has a wide base--also in a five-point organic shape--whose fine hand-engraved texture twists as the circumference diminishes towards the top.
Although there are some tiny chips and rough edges on a few of the many spinel facets, they are only visible with a loop and can be rotated out of view since the crystals are actually tightly wired beads for nearly 360-degrees of sparkle between the silver points.
While in a monochrome and geometric Art Deco style, the earrings could date no earlier than the 1930s given the clip style. The use of black spinels mixed with dark diamonds became fashionable as The Great Depression diminished and a wider variety of imported gems were used in jewelry, such as by the late internationally renowned Fulco di Verdura who also created pieces featuring diamond-faceted spinels.

Antique ArtDeco French ArtPlasticSet BlackSphereMotif CrystalEarrings CoilBangle
Located in Chicago, IL
In the Art-Deco period when geometric, monotone and sparkly designs became fashionable, leading Paris-based couture designer Elsa Schiaparellli set trends with her artistic use of new plastic resins in bold costume jewelry. The progressive French style is exemplified by this unsigned antique black sphere-motif pair of a coiled bangle bracelet and two-tier crystal earrings. The heat-set curvilinear plastic, along with the silver screw-hardware of the earrings, date the set to no earlier than the 1920s and no later than 1930s.
Each inch-diameter earring features 18 black molded bezels containing brilliant rose-cut crystals, while their filigree-like concealed black frames are riveted in back where they twist-fasten with very thin silver hardware. The rhinestones rise above the bezels to maximize their sparkle in rainbow colors, which is accentuated by the stacked frames...
