Expert Construction Attributes & Authentication Analysis

This magnificent, unsigned masterwork is a textbook showcase of the unique jewelry architecture of Henry Schreiner, NY. It features highly sought-after, documented construction indicators that provide definitive identification:

• The Asymmetric "Ruffle" Silhouette: The collar necklace utilizes Schreiner's iconic textile-inspired draping technique. The stones split and seamlessly "fold over" diagonally down the neckline, creating a cascading fluid motion 
• Navette-on-Stem Backbone Layout: The core structural framework of the necklace, bracelet, and earrings relies on a central spine of leaf-shaped marquise (navette) cups joined end-to-end like vertebrae. The stones flare outward in a tiered, chevron palm-leaf formation.
• Dual-Rail Chain Track Assembly: The necklace and bracelet are flanked down both outer boundaries by independent, parallel rhinestone chain track rails. This stabilizing border design allows the heavy pieces to curve smoothly and flex perfectly against the skin.
• Closed-Back Settings: The leaf-shaped marquise rhinestone settings feature solid, smooth gold-plated closed backs, a documented manufacturing variant used by the Schreiner firm for specific heavily saturated colored glass parures.
• Authentic Flat Plank Earring Clips: The matching dangle earrings feature Schreiner's signature flat-topped rectangular bar/paddle clip levers. The mechanism is mounted onto an exposed, thick Y-shaped gold-plated support wire directly soldered down the center spine of the navette cups, omitting standard pin stops.
