JOMAZ JOSEPH MAZER HUGE Crystal Pearl Flower Brooch Earrings Vintage 1950s Super

Description

Now hugely collectable JOMAZ costume jewelry goes back to 1927, when Joseph and Louis Mazer founded Mazer Brothers in New York City, but in 1946 Joseph Mazer split from his brother & launched JOMAZ. Despite the name change, JOMAZ continued in the manner of Mazer Brothers, setting rhinestones, artificial pearls, and faux turquoise in settings of goldtone & silvertone rhodium plated metal
One of the rarest & certainly the most spectacular US produced vintage costume sets you will ever see
A gorgeous huge tactile glittering brooch & stunning earrings dated to the late 1940s to early 1950s, for JOMAZ was to stop hand setting its diamontes by the early 1950s. The quality of this set is on a par with the best that Christian Dior was producing at the time, the brooch measures 5cm ( 2" ) in diameter by 5.5cm (2.2") deep, the clip back earrings 2cm (.7") in diameter by 3cm (1.2")
Clearly made in their entirety by hand, a glorious huge split-petaled flower & pair of earrings completely encrusted or Pave set, with tiny bright white diamontes, highlighted by a lustrous faux pearl, & all edging having a milgrain finish. They are perfectly matched in color & condition, there is not one diamonte missing, damaged or hugely discolored, a few are slightly creamier in color when looked at under a loup but it is not noticeable to the naked eye, & would hazard a guess that they are Swarovzki gems, such is the clarity & glitter.
The pieces have no damage to the faces other than light, invisible contact marks to the creamy pearls. There is one small area of peel, again near invisible, to the Rhodium plate on the outer edge back of one of the petals of the brooch, with typical time related pitting to the plate, which vanishes if you clean them with silver polish & with no repairs, this set is fit for the serious Deco Retro jewellery collector.  DO not clean this set with any liquid polish you will ruin it
The earnings have clip backs & the pin having a flip-over safety catch
. This does what it was intended to do, to replicate diamonds & looks simply astonishing under artificial light.
