Vintage Signed Sherman Demi- parure
Vivid color seems to be in all of the
fashion magazines this spring.
Gustave Sherman is one of the many designers from the past whose supreme use of exciting color
combinations became a signature look.
It has been said that Sherman had
his stones custom made by Swarovski. I can tell you this, I have put his stones next to others and you can see the difference. The stones on the Sherman pieces
sparkle more and seem to have an intense saturation not seen in the others.
Another thing that sets Sherman pieces apart from his contemporaries is the quality of the settings. Early on, they were either rhodium or gold- plated and smooth. In fact, quality was front and center at this company, leading to problems as everything they produced was
expensive to make! Less expensive techniques and materials were used in their later collections/lines.
This feminine set would look great at any party or special occasion. We can also see it as bridal set depending on the dress. The metal is rhodium plated and all of the stones were set by hand. They are
held in place with prongs.
