Marena Eros vintage costume jewelry
The history of Marena & Eros jewelry brand spans about five decades – from the 1940s to the 1990s. Inspired by Erte, the creative duo made these porcelain-face brooches in a limited edition. A characteristic feature of all brooches and pendants created in Art Deco style are gold-plated tassels or chains. Traditionally, the designers used porcelain, silver, 18-karat gold, and semi-precious stones. Also, mother-of-pearl, onyx, Austrian crystals and rhinestones. Each brooch has the stylized “Eros” signature on the back, or marking “Marena” with copyright and “Handarbeit” (handmade), and W. Germany.
Priced hundreds of dollars, high-end vintage brooches and pendants created by Marena and Eros are highly collectible and in demand today.
