Elzac jewelry is fun to collect and it seems like you hardly see the same pin twice. No doubt because they were all hand made. This pin was probably one of the Victim of Fashion pins. It has a small pin hole on each side at the upper edge of the green and clear Lucite which may have originally held feathers or cloth. There is very little paint loss to this lady. As with all my pieces I leave the cleaning up to the new owner, and she looks like she needs to be cleaned up a bit.
Elzac Inc. Manufacturers produced novelty jewelry during World War II. Headquartered in Los Angeles with designer Elliot Handler at the helm, the company used innovative materials such as ceramic, Lucite, fur, feathers, cloth, and wood in unusual, whimsical ways. Elzac was founded in 1941 and achieved great success and popularity over the next several years, during a period when more conventional jewelry materials were in short supply. The popularity of Elzac's style of jewelry waned rapidly after the war, only to be revived again on today’s market.
All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. |
