Vintage Schiaparelli Jewelry

Elsa Schiaparelli was an Italian-born Paris couturier known for her daring, surrealist-inspired fashion and her signature 'shocking pink'. She worked with artists of her day and treated accessories as part of the joke and the art of dressing. The Schiaparelli name was also used on costume jewelry made in the United States during the mid-20th century, which became known for bold, unusual stones, including iridescent aurora borealis crystals, art glass and textured cabochons in strong color combinations. These pieces are typically signed Schiaparelli in script. Vintage Schiaparelli brooches, earrings and parures are prized by collectors for their color and originality. Each listing gives the era, signature and measurements.
