Soft blue glass cabuchon and large pearl five point earrings, French, 1960s
About the Item
A striking pair of 'cruxiform earrings, of excellent quality and weight. Very much in the style of Chanel of this period (1960s) , they sadly are not signed, but they bear all the qualities and motifs of Maison Goossens, creator and collaborator with Coco Chanel in designing iconic jewellery for the House of Chanel. That aside, they are highly wearable and, in their soft shade of blue, very versatile.
Robert Goossens was a great artist, and one of the last great masters of the golden age of costume jewellery. He is most well known for his magical collaboration with Coco Chanel, commencing in the mid 1950s and continuing through to her death. Together, they created ’Byzantine’ jewels, celebrated for its crosses, and cruxiform brooches. Chanel gave him a freedom of expression ,so that he was able to realise and affirm her wonderful vision - he felt that this collaboration with Chanel was the highest point of his carrer and recounted many tales of it throughout his later life. He also had a celebrated collaboration with Yves Saint Laurent, creating many of the most fabulous and iconic piece for the couture house. At the beginning, he made the pieces by hand himself, expanding to seven artisans, then with 48 employees in the 1980s and 90s. The atelier continues today, run by his son and daughter.
