Rare Vintage Signed Schiaparelli Givre Glass Brooch

Rare Vintage Signed Schiaparelli Givre Glass Brooch. One Art glass tulip stone missing. Elsa Schiaparelli founded a fashion house in Paris in the 1920s and took costume jewelry to the cutting edge of fashion. Her jewelry is now among the most sought after due to its high quality and the sometimes outrageous designs and color combinations. Her jewelry is, as it was when designed so long ago, thoroughly modern. During the 1930s, Elsa Schiaparelli was the most popular and flamboyant fashion designer in Paris. Her best collections mocked the established code of beauty, featuring odd miniature hats, trompe l’oeil prints, or buttons formed like everyday objects. She dubbed her favorite hot-pink color “Shocking Pink” and aimed her signature looks at a younger American clientele.
