ArtNouveau Antique Dutch Pearl Inlaid Sterling FloralMotif ScrewBack Earrings

About the Item

These signed antique Art-Nouveau period abalone shell sterling-silver screw-back earrings carry the maker's mark and initials of Dutch A.S. Agsteribbe, who worked in Amsterdam in The Netherlands in the early 20th Century. The mother-of-pearl is artistically inlaid into iridescent petal shapes. The lush colors range from lavendar, green, blue, ecru, white, pink and brown, while they change patterns of reflection in different angles of light. If you are looking for a less expensive but equally artistic piece of white-metal-set abalone jewelry in an Art Nouveau style, please see our other 20th Century listings.

  • 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. This 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...
