Couture Cis Zoltowska Fingerlike ProngSet CrackleGlass RedBalls Silver Earrings
About the Item
In the mid-century, Austro-Hungarian Comtesse Cissy Zoltowska designed haute-couture costume jewelry with elements of hand-craftsmanship for some of the leading European houses including Pierre Balmain, Jacques Fath and Balenciaga, which is when she became known for hand-set glass in elegant finger-like wire prongs that further enlivened her colorful designs. Notably, all of her jewelry was prong set and hand mounted--often with irregularly bent wire or pieces of metal.
Here in each silver-tone mixed-metal clip earring, she used her trademark stone crackle-glass for triple balls with red tones ranging from cherry to flame, which are each hand-set with nine elongated curving prongs.
Like most other European parures, Zoltowska did not sign pieces made for fashion designers, which also included Helena Rubenstein in The States. She later produced a line for Lord & Taylor and other retailers that is identified by the mark "CIS". This is why there is the distinction between early work that is associated with her last name, which she acquired from the Polish count who was her husband.

View AllMiriamHaskell WWII FrankHess Layered Rhodoid & Crystal Montee Climber Earrings
By Frank Hess for Miriam Haskell
Located in Chicago, IL
Beginning in 1939, American Miriam Haskell asked her first designer since 1926 Frank Hess to sparingly use metal in their costume-jewelry collections during WWII while war materials were needed. So not unlike the Spring/Summer 2024 floral appliques designed by Balmain artistic director Olivier Rousteing, hand-crafted rose-motif plastic never looked more beautiful in the 20th Century than such eye-catching glossy creations as these ballet-pink clip earrings by Hess. In this reflective and sparkling pair of lightweight slightly asymmetrical climbers, shiny film-like rhodoid is hand-cut, layered in three dimensions for irregular shadows, and riveted with clear roses-montees to a thin silver metal frame, which replaced Hess' characteristic wired Russian-gilt brass frame while still resembling his earlier construction (see our other Haskell listing for an early double fur-clip chain lariat). The earring clips, with tiny holes that were used for unsigned Haskell...
