While their materials were less precious than real gold and diamonds, using glass stones, semi-precicious stones and lead and brass, many big fashion houses and designers produced highly complex pieces of jewelry that stand for craftmanship that today can only be found in so-called \u003cem\u003eHaute Joaillerie. \u003c\/em\u003eMost famously, Coco Chanel popularized the use of “faux jewelry”, bringing costume jewelry to  life with gold and faux pearls. Chanel`s designs drew from various  historical styles, including Byzantine and Renaissance  influences, often featuring crosses and intricate metalwork. Her  collaboration with glassmakers, such as the Gripoix family (Maison Gripoix), introduced  richly colored glass beads and simulated gemstones, which added depth to  her creations without the high cost of traditional precious stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eElsa Schiaparelli– Chanel’s lifelong rival– brought surrealist influences into costume jewelry design, famously collaborating with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau. She created the \u003cem\u003eHouse of Schiaparelli \u003c\/em\u003ein Paris in 1927, celebrating Surrealism and eccentric fashions. Her collections were famous for unconventional and artistic themes like the human body, insects, or trompe-l`œil, and for the use of bright colors like her \"shocking pink\". While Schiaparelli had to close her avant-garde business in the late 1950s and was forgotten for decades, her designs have recently been rediscovered and are celebrated for their bold design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn many instances, high-end custome jewelry has achieved a  \"collectible\" status and increased value over time. Today, there is a  substantial secondary market for vintage  fashion jewelry. The main collecting market is for `signed pieces`,  which have the maker`s mark, usually stamped on the reverse. Amongst the  most sought after are Miriam Haskell, Sherman, Coro,  Butler and Wilson, Crown Trifari, and Sphinx. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe term signed however is an invention that only reached European production in the late 1950s- when American buyers started to ask for authentification to distinguish high class designers from mass-produced pieces, while in Europe all costume jewelry had been issued by the fashion houses themselves and hence remained somewhat exclusive from the start. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Costume Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Stück","offer_id":57261524386169,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/4510\/8345\/files\/vintage-costume-jewelry-givenchy-sautoir-vintage-costume-jewelry-jewelry-import-467-3813-2.jpg?v=1778662633","url":"https:\/\/saalhof1123.com\/products\/vintage-costume-jewelry-givenchy-sautoir","provider":"SAALHOF 1123","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
