Exceptional 1940s Signed Eisenberg Pavé “Icing” Ribbon Brooch, Couture Rhodium Rhinestone

A superb example of Eisenberg’s legendary craftsmanship, this exquisite 1940s pavé ribbon brooch embodies the glamour and refinement that defined the golden age of American costume jewelry. The dimensional ribbon design is richly adorned with brilliant pavé-set rhinestones in five distinct sizes, creating exceptional depth, movement, and light reflection. This celebrated style is known among collectors as Eisenberg’s “icing” design, where densely set stones appear as if lavishly layered across the surface like shimmering frosting. Each rhinestone is precision-set within rhodium-plated mountings, a superior finish prized for its enduring brilliance and resistance to tarnish. The result is a luminous composition of remarkable clarity and fire.

Substantial in presence yet graceful in form, this brooch makes an unmistakable statement whether worn on a lapel, evening gown, or cashmere. Signed on the reverse cartouche, it represents a classic and highly sought-after example of Eisenberg’s most iconic work. A few areas of spotting to the reverse consistent with age and authenticity. The front presents beautifully, with exceptional sparkle and visual impact. Ready to be worn and make a statement!

Collector's Note

Eisenberg’s pavé “icing” brooches remain among the most coveted creations in vintage costume jewelry. Introduced in the late 1930s and perfected through the 1940s, these designs are celebrated for their extraordinary stone quality, meticulous hand-setting, and distinctive dimensional styling. Signed examples in rhodium-plated settings are especially desirable, as they retain their original brilliance and structural integrity over decades. Today, Eisenberg brooches of this caliber are treasured not only for their beauty, but for their enduring status as icons of twentieth-century jewelry design.
