In 1939, Carnegie made its groundbreaking debut in the world of costume jewelry, introducing a wholesale collection specifically presented in specialty shops. This strategic move acknowledged the intricate relationship between costume fashion and jewelry, establishing a legacy that would define Carnegie’s presence in the public market. All pieces in the wholesale line featured a seal with the Hattie Carnegie name as well as a stamp. These exquisite earrings exemplify that tradition, featuring a harmonious blend of molded glass, faceted rhinestones, and givre faceted beads, each meticulously wired into an intricate filigree base, accentuated with delicate leaf stampings.
