Description:
This is a fabulous demi brooch and earring set
signed Schreiner New York. The brooch measures nearly 3 ½"
in length. It has the traditional dog tooth prongs, ruffled
cups and inverted stones seen in Schreiner pieces giving
this piece amazing depth! This piece also has exquisite
tangerine orange "cat eye" like stones. The are clear on
top with tangerine orange with glittering copper veins.
Just terrific art glass. The pearls are a luscious creamy
gray and are in great condition. The earrings also have a
wonderful drop pearl and measure nearly 2" in length, again
appointed with inverted translucent stones with a slight
aurora hue.
Condition:
Great Condition*
Important word about condition
The set does have some condition issues. This piece has a
few superficial spots of verdigris on the gilt metal. There
is also verdigris and metal wear at each of the pearl drops
however as stated above the nacre of each pearl is in great
condition. Replacing each of pin stems and possible the end
cap would fix this problem. I don’t think that replacing
the each cap is critical however—but that’s my personal
opinion. Each pin stem however seems to be clued in as it
doesn’t exit out at the bottom of the pearl. If you want
this fixed check with your jeweler to see if it’s possible
PRIOR to purchasing. I will also say that piece is very
beautiful despite the disclosure above. Some people may not
even consider this a problem.
