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...

A Vintage Schiaparelli Monochrome Necklace demi-parure crafted during the 1950s. Composed of countless strands of faceted black and clear crystal beads interwoven with soft grey pearls in graduating sizes, the set creates extraordinary texture and light play across the surface. Aurora borealis highlights catch subtly between the darker tones, giving flashes of iridescence and movement amongst the otherwise restrained monochrome palette. The effect feels both opulent and remarkably modern. The many layered rows create real statement presence, yet the monochrome colouring keeps the design refined and wearable. There is something timelessly chic about the combination of black, crystal and soft silver grey, a palette so closely associated with the modern elegance introduced into fashion by houses such as Schiaparelli and Chanel during the early to mid 20th century. Particularly beautiful are the signature rhodium plated floral clasps featured on both the necklace and bracelet. Rather than being hidden fastenings, they become part of the overall design itself, adding a sculptural finishing detail that reflects Schiaparelli’s instinct for treating every element as part of the visual story. Created during the final years of Elsa Schiaparelli’s time at the helm of the House, the set reflects the glamorous statement styling of the 1950s while still carrying the sense of individuality and design awareness that defined Schiaparelli’s wider legacy. Why this piece: A beautifully dramatic signed Schiaparelli parure...

Between the first ad campaign that couturier Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973) commissioned from internationally admired Paris-based multimedia artist Marcel Vertes (1895-1961) for her blockbuster perfume "Shocking" in 1937, and in 1940 when they left France after launching her perfume "Sleeping" shortly before the Nazi occupation during WWII, the illustrator-cum-ceramist distinctly handmade--while traditional materials for couture costume jewelry were scarce in Paris--this whimsical red-glazed ceramic brooch. It depicts a duck holding an umbrella dripped with dashes of turquoise and black glaze to appear wet. Significantly, the trombone clasp of the pin, the long-pronged gilt frame, and the text stamped on its back plate "Made In France" match a similarly sized glazed ceramic brooch of a decoratively chained bear that was published in the book Bijoux (page 146). The author Deanna Farenti Cera dated that likewise unbranded unsigned brooch to 1938 when it was commissioned for one of Schiaparelli's themed fashion shows "Circus". The invitation to that show, which was illustrated with circus characters and performing animals by Vertes' Parisian peer Christian Berard, included a domesticated white duck--notably not holding nor wearing a fashion accessory. Unusually, Schiaparelli had commissioned couture umbrellas from other artisans in the 1930s--a couple of which were acquired by TheMet museum. Another relevant Met acquisition of one of the designer's couture evening gowns, which it dates to Summer 1940, features three large glazed-ceramic fasteners in a contrasting color matching our brooch. The like findings, materials, construction, text, object and palette aside, accessory-adorned ducks were among the figurative animals commissioned by Schiaparelli for that last collection before the Germans dominated Paris by June 1940, which is evidenced by the photo of the dated gilt hatpin depicting a bejeweled bird head with a bill that appears in the book by Patrick Mauries about another Schiaparelli-associated French parurier Lina Baretti (pages 124-125). See our other listing for one of Baretti's uniquely feathered designs, which likewise has a pronged gilt frame with trombone clasp like ours, but whose partridge subject best suits an earlier Schiaparelli collection for Fall 1938 titled "Pagan". For us, distinguishing our brooch from other one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces created for Schiaparelli couture...

Elsa Schiaparelli: "I gave to pink, the nerve of the red, a neon pink, an unreal pink, Shocking Pink" Yves Saint Laurent: Schiaparelli's pink was "an aggressive, brawling, warrior pink” Elsa Schiaparelli's "Shocking" Pink was a color which derived from a 17.27 carat rose colored Cartier diamond known as the Tete de Belier, belonging to her friend and client, Daisy Fellowes. Shocking Pink was used for the eponymous perfume "Shocking", which was launched in 1937. The packaging was designed by artist Leonor Fini and the bottle was based on Mae West's curvaceous figure. Her first shoe-hat, designed for her autumn 1937 collection, had a Shocking Pink heel. Salvador Dali loved the color so much he used it for one of his own works, “an enormous stuffed bear...

In the style of Elsa Schiaparelli couture costume jewelry and one of her paruriers beginning in the late 1930s, Jean Schlumberger, this hand-crafted highly textural glass and crystal...

Elsa Schiaparelli famously embraced "shocking pink" for her Surrealist-aesthetic couture clothing and handcrafted costume jewelry, which she commissioned from Parisian paruriers beginning in the late 1920s--when some of the most expensive gems were fuchsia Burmese rubies. In this Art Deco period glass-beaded sautoir tassel necklace, 37 unusual fuchsia faux-pearls are each delicately caged like hot-air balloons by seven textural strands of tiny faux-pearl-and-gold seed beads. These spherical stations are spaced by lustrous white medium-size faux pearls, ending in a four-strand seed-bead tassel that cages four of the fuchsia beads. The beads are strung on bright magenta silk cord without a clasp. Sautoirs were an essential element of flapper style since Schiaparelli's couture-mentor Paul Poiret changed the silhouette of clothing in the 1920s, while the long necklaces remained popular until wartime 1939. While competing with her fashion rival couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, Schiaparelli (1890-1973) relied on the same French artisans, Maison Gripoix and Louis Rousselet--the masters of glass faux pearls at the time. Either workshop that was established by the 1920s could have been commissioned to make the progressive hot-pink pearls for this unsigned necklace. The design of this highly-textural tricolor sautoir featuring fuchsia spheres could suit the style of one of Schiaparelli's most frequent paruriers through the 1930s, Jean Clement. Some of his relevant unsigned work for Schiaparelli is in museum collections like The Met, including highly-textural tricolor sphere-decorated buttons and brooches or a fuchsia-toned metal-rosebud bead necklace. After Schiaparelli had become associated with fuchsia, she made particularly prolific use of this bright magenta in the late 1930s. In her demi-couture collections such as "Circus" and "Comedia dell' Arte" (see our 3 photos), fuchsia jackets are adorned with similar colorful spherical glass beads among embroidered appliques and animal or clown brooches, as well as whimsical painted-ceramic buttons...
