A remarkable and exceptionally rare, signed Vintage Schiaparelli Speckled Egg Necklace parure dating to the 1950s, capturing the enduring ingenuity and artistic spirit that defined Elsa's House of Schiaparelli. Statement in both scale and presence, the set combines theatrical couture styling with an unexpectedly modern sense of balance and movement. The glasswork throughout is extraordinary. Hand formed speckled glass beads and dramatic twisted drops create a striking contrast against the warm gold-plated framework, the surface patterning recalling the delicate irregularity of naturally speckled eggs. The swag necklace and bracelet construction bring fluidity and elegance, while the asymmetrical arrangement prevents the design from ever feeling overly traditional or composed. There is always a subtle sense of disruption in Schiaparelli’s work, and this set carries that beautifully. Particularly collectible is the inclusion of two distinct pairs of signed ear clips. One pair takes on a more sculptural ear climber silhouette, highly unusual for the period and remarkably forward looking in design. The second pair references historic bomb shaped drop earrings, reinterpreted through Schiaparelli’s avant garde lens with exaggerated scale, unusual colouring and playful proportion. Though created during the 1950s, the creative daring and surrealist instinct established during Schiaparelli’s celebrated pre war years continues to run clearly through the design. The combination of sculptural form, artistic glasswork and unconventional balance gives the set a distinctly expressive quality that still feels strikingly modern today. Why this piece: A rare opportunity to acquire a complete signed Schiaparelli parure...

While contracted since 1953 as an independent craftsman to create one-of-a-kind costume jewelry for French Masion De Gorce, Parisian goldsmith Robert Goosens (1927-2016) was initially commissioned there to craft for Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel unique Byzantine-style long decorative-chain necklaces with sculptural gilt-metal or faux-pearl charms, which would be layered to accessorize her couture clothing for herself and clients. As the commissions from the fashion designer for his work mounted, by the following year Goosens began working directly for Chanel at a mobile workshop--continuing to create unsigned couture pieces while establishing Maison Goosens. Although Chanel began signing most of the jewelry by the late 1950s, the exception until Chanel's death was most often the long chain necklaces with simpler clasps that were among a multi-chain set designed by Goosens. Suggesting that this is the case for our unsigned gold-gilt barrel-clasped sautoir, the cast foliate prongs that cap its pendant are strikingly similar to the cast lobed-leaf prongs of the textural pair of faux-pearl button earrings and a capped-faux-pearl pendant earring that are published in a close-up photo (see our snapshot) in Jewelry By Chanel, the book written by Patrick Mauries. The caption (adjacent page 97) dates those likewise unsigned Chanel pieces to 1954-1971 when only Goosens would have executed them with his lost-wax casting. A lost-wax-cast sautoir pendant with similar foliate prongs signed Chanel with three stars (couture) was auctioned by Christie's in 2000 among "A Group of Five Gilt Metal and Simulated Gemstone Necklaces, Chanel" in which one piece of the lot was unsigned. The house noted in its catalogue that the pendant necklace had been published earlier that year in the Editions Plume book (page 28), Bijoux de Haute Couture: Collection Robert Goossens by Gilles Plazy and Chantal Bizot. Also characteristic of Robert Goosens for Chanel...
