Rare Calvaire Powder Box in the Style of Suzanne Belperron

About the Item

Calvaire, rare powder box of gilt metal and faux aquamarine faceted oval stones in the style of Suzanne Belperron, Calvaire was founded in New York by Rachel C. Calish and Stella Aronson in the 1920s. They were importers of costume jewelry and most of their items were purchased in France except during WWII when they purchased American-made goods. It is unlikely they bought jewelry from one source since the designs vary widely in structure and design; there is no Calvarire "signature look." Calvaire items include beautifully made jewelry, hand-bags, and compacts; the jewelry is often made with sterling. Calvaire items are extremely rare in the collectible jewlery market signed in block letters Calvaire. 2.75" Dia,.50"H
