Canadian Renowned Jewelry Designer Gustave Sherman, Set of Cognac Peridot Green Rhinestone Pinwheel Brooch & Clip On Earrings, Rhodium Plated Mid Century Costume Jewelry, Original “Jewels Of Elegance” Box Eaton Department Store Three Piece Demi Parure, Circa 1950

This mid-century modern Canadian costume jewelry set is a rare three-piece demi-parure crafted by the legendary designer Gustave Sherman during the 1950s or 1960s. The stunning ensemble is presented in its rare, original black clamshell presentation display box featuring the iconic satin liner stamped with the Jewels of Elegance by Sherman signature script logo. This specific set was originally retailed through the historic Eaton’s Department Store, Canada’s premier mid-century fashion destination where Sherman’s highest-end collections were displayed prominently in fine jewelry counters.

The substantial main statement piece is designed as a dynamic, layered pinwheel or starburst swirl brooch measuring over two inches in diameter. It showcases an intricate, interlocking composition of premium Swarovski crystal rhinestones seamlessly blending autumn hues including rich smoky cognac, warm honey topaz, amber, olivine, and vibrant peridot green. Extending outward from a tiered, circular pave-set central dome of amber chatons are radiating rows of meticulously hand-set, pointed navette and marquise-cut crystals. Flanking the brooch is a perfectly matched pair of multi-tonal leaf-shaped clip-on earrings mirroring the exact cognac and peridot color palette and crystal configuration.

Every single brilliant-cut rhinestone is individually anchored in an open-back, high-quality multi-prong setting allowing maximum light transmission and exceptional fiery brilliance. The reverse sides feature heavy, premium rhodium-plated silver-tone base metal finishes that look brand new and strongly resist tarnishing over time. All three matching pieces are individually stamped with the clear signature hallmark cartridge on the back of the crystal frameworks. The jewelry pieces remain in pristine vintage condition with all original stones firmly intact, a perfectly straight brooch pin assembly with a fully operational safety catch wheel, and strong, secure tension springs on the earring clips.The Eaton’s department store connection provides an elite archival pedigree that collectors love.
