Here is a fun pair of 1950s figural ballerina ear clips. These utilized a cast body and hand-wired faux pearl for the tutu. Each earring will look slightly different. The company produced a number of figural pieces from brooches to earrings. Figural pieces are a favorite for Napier collectors. From The Napier Book https://ift.tt/3cnbS9h
In the 1950s, boutique jewelry, a version of higher-end jewelry was seen in finer department stores across the nation. Napier, mostly known for its tailored lines, decided to develop a full-couture line of fashion jewelry. In its ensuing design history, Napier for decades, created pieces that held the prestige of “Boutique” jewelry. Here are two examples of 1950 and 1960s earring designs.
In the early 1990s, Napier produced an astonishing line of high-end fashion jewelry designs using extremely expensive Swarovski crystal rhinestones that were hand set. These pieces originally retailed up to $250.00 each. In today’s 2013 dollars, this amount equates to over $423.00. The earrings below are from a dazzling 1991 collection. Additional information about this line including the matching necklace and the head designer is featured in my book. These earrings were designed by, Denise Wood, who was part of the Napier design team from 1990 to 1995.
