Most often, jewelry companies make traditional jewelry – brooches, dress clips, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, pendants, and less often shoe clips. One of most notable costume jewelry companies on production of shoe clips was Bluette, which manufactured shoe clips in the 1970-80s. The history of Bluette costume jewelry trademark began fifty years ago in France. Incorporated in January 1972, Monsieur Robert Bluette company ceased to exist in 2002.
Traditionally, the craftsmen used gold and silver tone metal alloys, leather, enamel, faux pearls, Swarovski crystals and rhinestones. The marking included “Bluette Made in France”. Noteworthy, the marking sometimes include “Nancy Katz”, who designed jewelry for Bluette in the 1970s.
The history of shoe jewelry is part of the history of dresses, shoes and fashion in general. Even minor improvements in the design of shoes will make them one and only of their kind. There is no doubt that shoes decorated with textile or jewelry elements have always been and will be in trend. Just look at the elegant women’s outfits of the Renaissance, or the fashion shows of modern designers.
Traditionally, true shoe decorations are removable. Shoe jewellery with glamorous rhinestones and charms can turn a casual pair into a sophisticated evening option. And to look fashionable, it is not at all necessary to buy several pairs of shoes for different occasions. It is enough to change the decorations, which may include shoe brooches – clips, bracelets for shin boots, heel rings of various designs, materials, colors and shapes.
