This is another example of the fine hand-wrought detail that went into many of the Napier brooches. This Napier orchid pin measures over 4″ in length. We are offering this piece on our website for a closeout price due to a condition issue on the back. A terrific piece nonetheless!from The Napier Book https://ift.tt/hz71oPG

One can never have enough earrings and Napier did them well. The top earrings are all hand-textured featuring nine strands each of tubular chain suspended from a button-shaped surmount. The second pair are like sculpted metal teardrops, and the third pair was featured in silver-plate in the book. All 1950s.from The Napier Book https://ift.tt/yzjseo5

Napier produced enameled earrings for many decades. The earring style and the type of enamel help us determine when Napier made the earrings. Some classic styles remained in the collection for several years–mainly designs from the spectator collections. We believe these earrings are from the late 1980s to early 1990s based on the pearlized enamel similar to the enamel used in the “Santa Fe” collection of 1989. Hopefully, one of our former Napier employees who follow this page will chime in.from The Napier Book https://ift.tt/OU120Cd

We’ve probably posted this before, but it’s well worth repeating. These are early hard enamel vinaigrettes and tablets. We’ve not had the good fortune of seeing these in person, but we would be over the moon should we find one.from The Napier Book https://ift.tt/MGdraxw
Presented here are some E. A. Bliss renderings from 1910-1912. Bliss hair comes are very difficult to find. The company enjoyed a robust business in hair combs throughout the country.from The Napier Book https://ift.tt/a8j04PA
Through the years, a fun part of our research has been researching articles that were a part of the Napier archive from which designers drew inspiration for new lines. These earrings were part of the Napier archive. We have always believed them to be Italian. Recent studies have collaborated with that hypothesis.
Gabriella Mode of Rome designed these “Pill Box” earrings. The earrings, plated in 18kt gold, unscrew at the top to hold pills or other small objects. The earrings were originally on display at the Excelsior Hotel in Rome during the summer of 1958.
We’ve not seen an exact Napier earring equivalent and would love to see your pieces. In terms of vessel-like items, we know of the Napier “Good Luck Pig” sterling pig charm that opens at the hinge or other perfume vessels. What other designs might be out there?from The Napier Book https://ift.tt/J0m7TVZ
