Description: SIGNED Forbidden Fruit AUSTRIA Brooch Earrings Set 1940-1950 RARE DOUBLE FRUITS Mid Century Modern Designer Signed Classic Juicy AUSTRIA Forbidden Fruit BROOCH and EARRINGS SET from the mid-century modern vintage period. The world of vintage jewelry is large and diverse. Among them a special place is occupied by jewelry from Austria – brooches and clips from the series of fruits and berries, which were produced in the 1940s – 50s. In almost every publication on vintage costume jewelry to that kind of jewelry is given a few pages, and this set can be found on page 107 of Costume Jewelry 101 by Julia Carol and pages 146 and 147 of Judith Millers Costume Jewelry design, as well as many others. Multicolored brooches and clips – strawberries, pears, raspberries, grapes, cherries, lemons, oranges – have been favorites of many women. And now there are women who collect this particular series of jewelry. The basis of these ornaments was metal covered with gold or varnish, sometimes black, (often referred to as japanned metal) and the berries and fruits were made of glass. The effect of internal light and depth achieved through the use in glass insets gold or silver tone foil, it was placed on the back of the cabochon, and it began to flicker like inside. Produced both – a decoration with cabochon stones with a smooth surface and “frosted glass”, berries and fruits from such glass seemed as if covered with frost. Also, clips and brooches were often decorated with the best Austrian crystals, popular worldwide because of its superior quality. These decorations were stamped – Austria. The brooch is approximately 2.25 (6cm) x 1.5” (4 cm) The earrings are 1.25 “ (3cm) x 1” (2.5 cm) They glow blue and purple/pink, accent, scented waves, bright, green, chartreuse leaves. The set is vintage and preowned but the condition is very good. Please see photos I am selling my aunts collection of mostly 1940s to 1970s Costume Jewelry mostly designer signed and rhinestones.
