An extraordinary, museographic demi-parure from the legendary French fashion house Elsa Schiaparelli, dating to the golden era of 1950s American costume jewelry production.
This statement set showcases Schiaparelli’s signature avant-garde aesthetic, featuring a geometric tiered fringe motif paved with sparkling prong-set rhinestones. A striking gradient transitions from rich deep amethyst purple to her iconic "Shocking Pink" and soft lilac tones. Crafted with high-grade gold-tone metal alloy, the articulated mesh-like tiers create incredible light reflection and architectural movement.
Both the brooch and each matching clip-on earring are fully hallmarked with the scripted "Schiaparelli" signature.
Complete signed sets of this caliber and pristine color saturation are exceptionally scarce on the global secondary market—a crowning centerpiece for collectors of mid-century high fashion jewelry.
