In the late 1960s, Napier produced a variety of translucent enamel designs. These c. 1960s translucent enameled five-point star earrings are fantastic! The hand-carved textured surface under the enamel adds interest to the design. These are large, measuring more than two inches across. #napierjewelry #napierjewelryhistory #thenapierbook #napierearrings #thejewelrystylist

This lovely brooch/pendant was part of the “Shades of Byzantium” collection featured in the book on page 301. The design featured translucent tear-drop, high-domed oval, and high-domed round cabochons set in cast metal. The collection came in single colors of citrine, amethyst, and emerald-green, in addition to the mix-color version. The collection was featured in The Chicago Defender on Oct. 15, 1955. The caption read, “Intricately carved silver floral (we’re showing the gold-tone version) settings form the romantic background for the regally polished cabochon amethysts …” #napierjewelry #napierjewelryhistory #napierbook #thejewelrystylist

This is a fascinating c. 1960s Napier brooch pin with an unusual design. The pierced metalwork with the enameled background gives it an almost “stained glass” effect. It is marked “Napier” on the back and measures 1 7/8″ in diameter. #napierjewelry #napierhistory #thenapierbook #jewelryhistory
