Jewellery of the late 1940s and early 1950s—particularly in the United States—combined the elegance of prewar jewellery with a new sense of lightness. Articulated tassels and shimmering cabochon-cut gemstones—always accompanied by sparkling diamonds—were among the most popular jewellery motifs of the era. These extraordinary ear clips feature four natural cabochon-cut sapphires and a total of approximately 2.10 carats of diamonds in the historic old-cut style, which are likely being reused here. The deep-blue sapphires resemble the eyes of stylized cicadas, while below each one, three movable tassels set with diamonds in white gold swing freely, vividly catching the light with every movement. The pair features a patented clip mechanism. The ear clips bear the U.S. patent number 2,423,905, which refers to an invention by the jeweler George Schuler & Co. of Pleasantville, New York. The company was one of the most prestigious American jewelry manufacturers of the 20th century and produced high-quality jewelry for houses such as Tiffany & Co., Cartier, and Neiman Marcus, among others. Schuler’s patented clip distributes pressure particularly evenly across the earlobe, ensuring exceptionally comfortable wear. The fine goldsmithing, the movable diamond tassels, and the elegant combination of deep-blue sapphires and sparkling diamonds make this pair a quintessential example of postwar American jewelry. They found their way to us here in Berlin.
