Schreiner does Figurals
When you speak of high quality vintage costume jewelry, how many brands are you envisioning? Surely the maker of this fine swan pin is one of them. Henry Schreiner costume jewelry is not only a favorite of collectors, it has certain characteristics that make it somewhat easy to distinguish. There are many unsigned pieces on the market so knowing these characteristics help. By no means can one say, for instance, that a piece with an inverted rhinestone is Schreiner, but at least you will have a
starting place for your search.
Okay, since I mentioned inverted stones...Schreiner costume jewelry can sometimes be haracterized by the way or direction the rhinestones are placed in their settings. If you look at the image below, you can see that some of the stones have been set with the pointed side up. This was done so that the rhinestone would catch more light. Schreiner also used a construction method called hook and eye. This technique is visible on the reverse of some pieces. An unusual choice of stones was
another characteristic of Henry Schreiner jewelry. Not only were the choices daring, the way they were combined was revolutionary at the time. Who can deny that when you come across a figural such as this!
