"Selections of the Heart" Collection Necklaces Designed by Erte
Erté’s desire to create jewelry arose from his life-long dedication to beautifying women through the genius of his designs. He envisioned his jewelry as works of art, but unlike works created by other artists, his would be designed to be worn. As a result, he considered these works “Art to Wear.”
There are numerous examples of Erté’s ability to interpret his original fashion and costume designs into several different mediums, i.e. sculpture, graphics and jewelry. For example, the “Aventurine” pendant was the first of Erté’s designs to be realized as jewelry. Released in 1979, it became the most popular of his collection. “Adventurine” was based on an original design created for a March 1919 Harper’s Bazaar cover. Just prior to the jewelry release, Erté also recreated this image in the 1978 serigraph, “Wings of Victory.”
One of Erté’s favorite images, “Beloved” was first created as a design for a 1932 Harper’s Bazaar cover and was then reinterpreted in the 1977 serigraph titled, “The Bride.” Erté then redesigned this image as a brooch/pendant entitled, “Beloved.”
“Arctic Sea” is one of Erté’s most popular images. Based on a costume design from a 1925 production of George White’s Scandals of the same name, Erté translated this design into a serigraph in 1981 and later revisited the same theme in 1989 to create one of his most collectable sculptures. Afterward, Erté recreated this majestic image into the hugely popular necklace/brooch, entitled “Sophistication.”
Through his unique art and designs, Erté was able to capture the essence and beauty of an entire era and transform these into timeless artistic treasures for generations to come.

From an original design by Erte, the Father of Art Deco, this shimmering heart-shaped pendant carries simplest and most elegant expression of love. Officially Licensed by the Estate of ERTE, bearing the official stamp of his signature! Measures approx. 1" x 2".
Born in St. Petersburg in 1892, and destined by his father for a military career, Erte confounded expectation by creating his first successful costume design at the age of five and was finally allowed to move to Paris in 1912 to pursue his passion for fashion. Erte enjoyed a long career as a fashion illustrator for Harper's Bazaar magazine, and gained fame as the creator of gloriously extravagant costumes and stage sets for the Folies Bergere in Paris, and for George White's Scandals in New York. He also designed for the opera and traditional theatre, and made a brief appearance on the Hollywood scene in 1925.
Erte disappeared somewhat from the fashion scene in the years following World War Two, only to have his glamorous career re-launched in 1967 by London art dealer Eric Estorick, who was greatly impressed by Erte’s vast body of work. Effectively taking New York and London by storm, the duo also introduced a new generation of fashionistas to Erte’s spectacular Art Deco creations. With demand for his work at an all time high, Erte found that while the wealthy happily paid top dollar for his original pieces, young people of limited means were clamoring for something they too could afford. This led to a decision to create multiples, first of graphics, and later, of bronzed sculptures. During the quarter century of Erte's "second career," he achieved a level of fame which rivaled the first, if only for its wider reaching expanses.
Having entered the fashion world in his early 20’s, Erte remained active well into his 90’s, with numerous books published on his life’s work, including two large format books, "Erte at Ninety," and "Erte at Ninety-Five," as well as one on sculpture, "Erte Sculpture." Upon his death in 1990, he was hailed as the undisputed "Prince of the Music Hall," the "Mirror for Fashion for 75 years," and “The Father of Art Deco.”
