Schiaparelli Jewellery Guide: Ear Cuffs, Keyhole Earrings, the Eye Ring, Hand in Hand and the Anatomy Bijoux

Schiaparelli jewellery is gilded brass, cast and hammered by hand, and it is the most affordable way into the house. The Eye ring lists at €900 on schiaparelli.com, the Keyhole earrings at €1,100, the dove brooch at €1,000, against dresses that start above €4,000. This guide explains the families, the Anatomy pieces, the Keyhole, the Surrealist spheres, the birds and the zodiac, what the metal actually is, how the ear cuffs are worn, what the house charges and which of the 116 Schiaparelli jewellery pieces live at Luxury Handbags to buy first. Luxury Shoes ’s prices run from $1,380 for a brooch to $32,670 for the Grand Collier Strass.

Is Schiaparelli jewellery real gold?

No, and the house has never said it was. The bijoux are gilded brass: brass that is cast, then hammered so that the surface carries tool marks, then finished with a gold bath, in some pieces a 24 karat bath, with crystal and enamel added on the eyes and mouths. That is the same tradition as the costume jewellery Elsa Schiaparelli commissioned in the 1930s, when the house made an aspirin necklace of porcelain beads with the writer Elsa Triolet in 1931 and went on to work with Dali, Cocteau, Man Ray and Giacometti. The gilding is thick and it wears well, but it is not solid gold, and a piece sold as “solid gold Schiaparelli” is a piece to walk away from. Treat it as you would any gilded jewellery: on last, off first, away from perfume and water, wiped with a soft cloth.

The Anatomy bijoux

The Anatomy is the core of the range: eyes, noses, mouths, ears, hands, feet and teeth, cast as separate emblems and used across earrings, rings, necklaces, brooches, belts and bags. The Eye, with crystal lashes, is the entry piece as the Eye Ring at $1,690 and the Eyes Earrings at $2,220. The Mouth appears pierced, the Pierced Mouth Necklace at $3,800 and the Pierced Mouth Bracelet at $3,270, and as the brooch. The hands are the most recognisable: the Hand in Hand Ring at $7,205 clasps two moulded hands with crystal nails across the finger, the Clasped Hands Earrings at $1,780 hang them from the lobe, and the Hand Earcuff at $2,500 wraps one around the ear. The whole face comes together in the Anatomic Bijoux Earrings at $3,450, the Visage Necklace at $7,500 and the Face Medallion Earrings at $2,570. Even the feet are here, as the Feet Earrings at $1,780.

Ear cuffs, and how to wear them

The ear cuff is the Schiaparelli piece that has crossed over furthest, because it needs no piercing and reads as sculpture rather than jewellery. The Spheres Earcuffs at $4,510, listed by the house at €2,500, run a line of gilded spheres up the outer ear; the Hand Earcuff curls the Anatomy hand around the lobe. They are worn on one ear only, with the other ear bare, and with the hair pulled back on that side so the cuff is seen in profile. Clip the cuff on from the top of the ear and slide it down until it sits without pinching. If it feels loose, a tiny squeeze of the open end tightens it; brass gives a little and holds.

The Keyhole

The Keyhole is the house’s second emblem after the anatomy, a stylised lock aperture that Roseberry has put on jackets, dresses, shoes and bags. In the bijoux it is the Keyhole Plate Earrings at $2,040, an asymmetric pair with the openwork plate on one ear and the key on the other, the small Keyhole Earrings at $1,690 and the Keyhole Ring at $1,690, which the house lists at €900. The Key Chain Necklace at $2,570 hangs the key itself. If you own the Keyhole dress, these are the pieces that finish it.

Spheres, birds, the zodiac and the sea

The Surrealist Ball is a hammered gilded sphere, worn as the Surrealist Ball Earrings at $4,680, the Surrealist Ball Brooch at $3,450, the Sphere Ring at $6,970 and the Spheres Bracelet at $8,200. The birds are the house’s softer register: the Dove Brooch at $1,870 is the gilded dove holding an olive branch that Lady Gaga pinned to her Schiaparelli couture gown to sing the national anthem at the 2021 inauguration, and the Hummingbird Brooch at $3,800, the Bird Earrings at $3,100, the Bird Claws Earrings at $2,920 and the Bird’s Nest Brooch at $4,860 follow it. The zodiac brooches, each sign cast in gilded brass and listed by the house at €1,300, are live as Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Pisces, $2,390 each at Luxury Shoes . And the sea, which Elsa Schiaparelli put on a dress in 1937 with Dali’s lobster, returns as the Fish Necklace at $7,001 and the Snail Hoop Earrings at $2,920.

What Schiaparelli jewellery costs

The house’s earrings list from €800 to €6,900, brooches from €800 to €2,700, rings from €800 to €3,900, necklaces from €1,400 to €18,500 and bracelets from €1,500 to €7,500. On 10 September 2026 only one pair of earrings and one brooch of the 100-odd jewellery pieces on schiaparelli.com could be ordered, which is normal between drops and the reason the pieces below matter. The full picture, with the clothes and the bags, is in the Schiaparelli price guide.

Wearing it

One piece at a time is the rule that the house’s own shows break and that works for everyone else. An Eye ring with a black knit; the Spheres cuff with hair scraped back and no other earring; the dove on the lapel of a plain blazer; the Anatomic Bijoux Earrings with a bare neck and a strapless dress. Gilded brass sits best against black, ivory, camel and denim, and it fights with other gold-tone metal, so take the watch off. The how to style Schiaparelli guide has the full outfits, and the bags guide covers the pieces where the bijoux and the bag are one object. The complete edit is on the Luxury Handbags jewellery page and the Schiaparelli brand page.

Frequently asked questions

Is Schiaparelli jewellery real gold?

No. It is gilded brass, cast and hand-hammered, then finished with a gold bath, in some pieces a 24 karat bath, with crystal and enamel details. It is costume jewellery in the couture tradition the house has followed since the 1930s, and it is not solid gold. Anything sold as solid gold Schiaparelli is not from the house.

How much are Schiaparelli earrings?

On schiaparelli.com the earrings list from €800 to €6,900, with the Keyhole Plate Earrings at €1,100 and the Spheres Earcuffs at €2,500. At Luxury Handbags the Schiaparelli earrings run from $1,513 to $12,250, with the Keyhole Plate Earrings at $2,040 and the Spheres Earcuffs at $4,510.

How do you wear a Schiaparelli ear cuff?

On one ear only, clipped on from the top of the ear and slid down until it sits without pinching, with the hair back on that side. The cuffs need no piercing. Wear the other ear bare, and skip a necklace so the cuff carries the look.

What is the cheapest Schiaparelli piece?

The rings and the small brooches. The Eye Ring and the Keyhole Ring list at €900 on the house’s site; at Luxury Handbags the least expensive live Schiaparelli jewellery is around $1,380, a brooch, with the Eye Ring at $1,690 and the Keyhole Earrings at $1,690.

What is the dove brooch Lady Gaga wore?

The house’s gilded brass dove holding an olive branch, pinned to the Schiaparelli haute couture gown she wore to sing the United States national anthem at the presidential inauguration on 20 January 2021. The house lists the Dove Brooch at €1,000; it is $1,870 at Luxury Shoes .

How should I care for gilded brass?

Put it on last and take it off first, keep it away from perfume, water and sweat, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store each piece in its own pouch. Do not use silver dip, polish and ultrasonic cleaners, which strip the gilding.

Is Schiaparelli jewellery at Luxury Handbags authentic?

Yes. Every piece ships from a licensed boutique in Luxury Shoes ’s partner network, never from a private seller, and the authenticity guarantee refunds the full price, shipping and duties if a piece is ever proven inauthentic.
