HattieCarnegie 1955 Glass Crystal HandWired MixedBead GiltMetal Clip Earrings
About the Item
These Hattie Carnegie multicolor glass, crystal and gilt-metal earrings notably include her script last-name signature without copyright symbol that was used on clips before her death in 1956. The hand-wired mixed beads include warm-tone glass, faceted crystal, and decorative gilt-metal in colors including red-coral, burgundy, cognac, champagne, copper, brass and gold. They are accented by the early blue-tone kind of iridescent crystals, which were nicknamed "aurora borealis" for their similarly reflected colors by their inventor Swarovski in 1955. This dates these earrings that include the progressive AB beads to the last year of Carnegie's life, when Christian Dior had also begun to use them.
The bead wiring that is attached to a perforated plate is completely concealed by an additional gold-tone back at the base of the clips.
The pair are in excellent condition, except for minute scratches on the hardware and a tiny amount of verdigris at some of the pinhead-ends of some of the brass wires, which is visible in the photos.
Although Hattie Carnegie founded her clothing brand around 1920, her earliest signature on at least one piece of jewelry in a parure is "HC", which was first added in 1939.

- MiriamHaskell 1945 CrystalRosesMontees Filigree Glass Enameled ClimberEarringsBy Frank Hess for Miriam HaskellLocated in Chicago, ILBefore the brand signature was added in 1947, Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess since 1926 designed these asymmetrical Baroque-style climber earrings with hand-painted white-and-ecru enamel leaves, crystal and glass beads, and Russian-gold gilt metal flowers, which are attached to a thick filigree branch that launched the post-war style of covering wires used to attach roses montees and beads behind an additional filigree plate. A similarly constructed and shaped pale-blue pair of climbers dated 1945 are in the renowned Barbara Berger museum-exhibited costume-jewelry collection. Characteristic of the materials favored by Hess for his designs, the clear rosette-cut rhinestones, intricate gilt-metal decorations, and white round glass beads were handcrafted in France by Parisian Louis Rousselet, who was among the first paruriers for Coco Chanel's couture clothing since the 1920s. In contrast to bold costume-jewelry by Chanel using...Category
