PEACOCK EYE JEWELRY
~
There are at least two kinds of what is called
"peacock eyes" in jewelry, one a blue and green foiled glass bead or cabochon, and the other a
raised blue poured glass center surrounded by a lovely green enamel. Made in around
1900-1920, the glass portions of this jewelry was probably from Gablonz,
Bohemia (Czechslovakia), but the pieces could have been set in other countries as well. They
were imported into England and Germany, and perhaps other countries, to make
Arts and Crafts, Deco and other jewelry.

PEACOCK EYE Dutch Arts Deco parure set in textured silver metal with
green and blue glass peacock eye cabochons and earrings with clip backs. It is
not often you find an entire matching group like this one. Peacock eyes are
made of crystal or glass over a silver foil, and according to author Ginger Moro,
some were made in Gablonz, Bohemia (Germany). The necklace is 17-1/2" and
each leaf is 1-3/4"; the bracelet is 7" by 1"; the smaller earrings are 1"
long, and the dangling clip back earrings are 2-5/8" from top to bottom. It
has the older tube style closure on the necklace and it is all in excellent
condition except for one small chip in the side of a stone on the smaller
earrings, visible only under close examination. This is from the Amsterdam
School of design, or Dutch Art Deco. A very kind lady from Holland let me
know that this is from the 1950s.

clear rhinestones with glass leaves, marked on the back "Alice Caviness", 3-1/8"

Germany.

PEACOCK EYE
large antique silver metal buckle with an etched design on the front. The
eye stands above the mounting and is absolutely lovely with rich colors.
The blue part is glass and the green is enamel. The buckle is curved and it is 4" by 2" in the
main body, not including the tendrils on one side. The eye is probably from Gablonz, Czechslovakia,
and the buckle was made in about 1900-1910. There is a very
interesting book called "Antique Enameled Jewelry" by Dale Reeves Nichols
and it shows a similar buckle on page 57, and there the buckle is identified
as one made by noted French Art Nouveau jeweler Piels Freres. This one
is not quite the same though, so I do not make that attribution.
