HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Many collectors know that Eisenberg & Sons, founded in Chicago, got started in the jewelry business by sewing rhinestone embellishments to their dresses in the 1930s. The notion that Eisenberg expanded their jewelry marketing because the baubles were being stolen off clothing, however, is said to be largely myth. As the popularity of selling jewelry along with clothing grew, eventually those sew-on baubles morphed into removable brooches and dress clips. These were sold with blue velvet-lined boxes for storage. Ruth Kamke, who became the primary designer for Eisenberg jewelry during this period, created some of the most desirable designs highly sought afterby collectors today. Only a few of these designs were patented by Fallon & Kappel in 1942, and they were registered by Florence Nathan (who was not a designer). This gorgeous clip sure has the look and lines of a Kamke piece.
JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This is a vintage Eisenberg Original dress clip from 1935-1945. The clip is made of silver toned metal and features mixed rhinestone shapes in clear or colorless. The glamorous clip is perfect for any occasion, including Christmas, graduation, date night, anniversary, and more. The rhinestones are made of glass and the clip is a show-stopping piece of jewelry that exudes elegance and Hollywood glam.
