PEACOCK EYE Arts & Crafts parure set in textured silver with colorful
glass peacock eye cabochons and dangly earrings with clip backs. It is not
often you find an entire matching group like this one. Peacock eyes are made
of crystal or glass over a silver foil, and according to Ginger Moro, some
were made in Gablonz, Bohemia (Germany). The necklace is 17-1/2" and each
leaf is 1-3/4"; the bracelet is 7" by 1"; the smaller earrings are 1" long,
and the dangling clip back earrings 2-5/8" top to bottom. It has the older
tube style closure on the necklace and it is all in excellent condition
except for one small chip in the side of a stone on the smaller earrings,
visible only under close examination. I
am not an expert on this style, but I think it is from the Amsterdam
School of design, or Dutch Art Deco, and from the 1930s.
