LEAVES
These frosted glass leaves have always caught my eye for the way
they reflect the
light. The delicacy, color and
combinations with other stones are very special.
Makers who used these include Schiaparelli, Hattie Carnegie, Hobe, Schreiner and
also some unsigned pieces. So far, I haven’t seen these used in bracelets, but who knows what may turn up in the
future.
Colors: yellow, green, peach, golden, blue, black, tan and clear.
Each molded and veined glass leaf is held in a metal solid
backed gold tone setting and attached to a "branch". Some have a
tiny rhinestone drop at the end of each leaf and some do not.
Some twigs can be bent just a bit in order to curve around the
center stone in different ways.

SCHREINER brooch
with a center orange glass cabochon surrounded by molded frosted glass
leaves and in a gold plated setting with pendant hook on back, 3-1/4".
I have seen this same brooch signed by Schreiner, signed by Carnegie, and not
signed at all.

SCHREINER
brooch and earrings made of frosted glass leaves in blue and white in a gold
tone setting, made in the 1960s. The brooch is 2-5/8" by 2-1/3" and the clip
back earrings 7/8". They are accented with small glass pearls and shimmer in
the light. I have now seen this same set signed "Schreiner NY" but this set
is not signed. The Carole Tanenbaum and Eve Townsend book "Schreiner- Master
of 20th Century Costume Jewelry" shows this on page 52. The designer Hattie
Carnegie was also fond of these leaves and used them in her jewelry, and I
have also seen them in similar unsigned pieces, too. This is a really lovely
set in excellent condition.

SCHREINER brooch of lustrous peach colored pressed glass leaves and an
oval orange glass cabochon center in a gold plated setting with a pendant
hook on back so it can be worn on a chain as a pendant necklace, too.
It is 3-1/8" by 2-1/2", a nice showy size. while this particular brooch is
not signed, I have a photo of this same brooch that is signed by Schreiner,
just to confirm that this is the maker. With the leaves overlapping the center in a such lovely three-dimensional way,
like a small creature peeking between the leaves! NOTE:
A
similar brooch can be seen on page
52 of
the wonderful book, "Schreiner: Masters of the Twentieth Century Costume Jewelry"
by Carole Tanenbaum and Eve Townsend.

HATTIE CARNEGIE brooch with luminescent pressed golden glass leaves
that surround a center of black glass bugle beads, all in a gold plated setting, 2-1/3" by 2".
This has the "Hattie Carnegie" signature on the back. Similar molded glass leaves were also used by Hobe and Schreiner during this
time period of the 1960s, as well as in pieces with no signature. I have a real fondness for their
glowing beauty.
