This fun figural enameled clown pin is a unique design for Napier. This piece dates to the mid-to-late 1960s. During the 1960s, the company designed many figural pieces in addition to its tailored and boutique lines. #napierjewelryhistory #napierhistory #napierjewelry #thenapierbook #napierfiguraljewelry

This is a fascinating c. 1960s Napier brooch pin with an unusual design. The pierced metalwork with the enameled background gives it an almost “stained glass” effect. It is marked “Napier” on the back and measures 1 7/8″ in diameter. #napierjewelry #napierhistory #thenapierbook #jewelryhistory

The brooches shown here exemplify the variations Napier often created around a central design element. The first piece features a circular disk and glass-stone inset with an Asian-inspired metal disk. A variation of this piece featured the addition of a pierced metalwork plaque suspending dangles. A complementing charm bracelet was also part of this collection. After 22 years of studying Napier jewelry, we have not seen matching earrings or a necklace, which speaks to the rarity of specific pieces. #napierjewelry #napierhistory #napierbrooch #thenapierbook

Another 1985 favorite was the “Spectator Brights Collection”! Big hair, bright colors, and layers of baubles! From collar necklaces to bulky bangles and large geometric shape earrings, there was much fun to be had with this collection. (Note Black and white bangle was not part of the “Spectator Brights” collection but was part of the “Spectator Collection.”)

These 1960s chandelier earrings feature Mother-of-pearl beads accented with elongated bicone aurora borealis crystal beads. Each drop is accented with a contrasting black seed bead to add dimension to the design. Do you have matching pieces? We believe we’ve seen a charm bracelet and would love to see other parts of the collection.
