 A group of five enameled rings. Rings are a little harder to find and frequently were made to match other pieces. You will see matching pieces to the guitar ring and the scarab ring in pictures below. These are all marked. |
 These pieces all have the same abstract mosaic design, just different colors. Combinations of warm colors or cool colors were used frequently. The triangle lower left is a brooch, the only non-figural brooch I have come across. |
 Several pieces using the cool color palette. The cool palette generally includes blue, aqua, green, an sometimes an olive color and a periwinkle shade. The warm palette includes brown, tan, marigold, orange and rust. Both have black accents. |
 These types of necklaces are harder to find. Instead of the more typical pendant on a chain, these pendants are on thin black enameled chain with matching wooden beads. The necklace at the top left has a pendant which slides along the black centerpiece. |
 Also not as common, these 'spring-loaded' bangles all have a tight spring coil at the bottom and open at the top. |
 The backs of all the spring-loaded bangles, showing a closer look at the coil and the marks. |
 A variety of enameled pendants on chains, mostly abstract designs. Chains used range from sleek snake chains to thick link chains. The black with rhinestones set is very unusual in that is has a lot more sparkle than you usually see in the enamel line. The guitar is Picaso-style and has the matching ring. |
 The swirl pattern. This was done in several palettes. The wide hinged bangle is the widest I have, and I have rarely seen this width, it measures 1". This pendent is huge as well measuring 3" in dia. You'll see this swirl pattern repeated on the owls further below. |
 These are the backs of the pendants just above with a view of the marks. |
|
 A group of 4 hinged bangles. Most people expect abstract enamel patterns, but these are out of the norm. They all feature figural or geometric enamel designs. All are signed except the butterfly and flower bangle, upper left. |
 Black and red enamels. If there are more with this color combo, I'd like to know. |
 A large group of figural brooches. You'll notice the repetition of designs in different palettes. The owl on a branch and mushroom shown lower left are probably the most commonly found designs. |
 Butterfly brooch and large butterfly pendant. Both come in other colors. There's a turtle brooch that I don't have, I've only seen it once. |
 The red/gray/black own is tagged and here is a close-up of the tag as well as the 'E©'mark. |
 Enameled figural pendants. The fish have rhinestone accents. The owls have the swirl pattern shown above. This turtle is a pendant. |
|
 An example of how the colors work together. The earrings match the colors of the owl but the design matches the mushroom. |
 This is the only example I have of this great shades of blue pattern. I'd like to find more. |
 Bold color combo! Bright aqua and deep burgundy in a more conservative geometric pattern |
 The most conservative of all the enamels, an off-white enamel paired with gold, and IMO, boring. But perhaps at the time it was considered elegant. There were pendants made of this combination as well. |
 This last piece to show is one I have not yet confirmed to be Eisenberg. The enamel quality, pattern and application are correct. However, it is unsigned and while I have seen another link necklace, it had a fold-over clasp, not an extender chain. I give this one 80/20 chance of being Eisenberg, but can not be 100% sure at this time. |
 Here's the back of the yellow necklace. This piece was purchased as part of a larger lot of enamels, and clearly it's from the same period, the plating and weight is correct. The extender chain and hook might be a replacement. Perhaps someday I'll come across another link necklace like this, or a matching piece and will be able to confirm. |
