Elsa Schiaparelli has given the world an incredible line of jewelry, clothing, perfumes and more. It's little wonder that when you want to buy a piece of Schiaparelli jewelry, it's pretty high priced.
Elsa Schiaparelli's jewelry designs make use of large rhinestones and aurora borealis. Some would consider her jewelry "over the top" with large baubles and balls hanging from bracelets.
Her signature color was 'shocking pink". So if you are in the market to acquire some Schiaparelli, this is the color to look for. But don't expect it to come cheaply: Schiaparelli jewelry is hard to get and even harder in her most beloved shade.
Just a note of caution here: The designer vintage jewelry market, sadly, is being flooded by fakes. The only way to protect yourself is to become informed on what to look for when you are considering a piece of vintage jewelry. The owner of this site was recently conned badly on some Schiaparelli. Read about it in her blog at THE VINTAGE JEWELRY BLOGGER. This is information you need to know! See photos of fake Schiaparellis!
