Vintage Maison Gripoix Pate De Verre Poured Turquoise Glass Teardrop Earrings
About the Item
An exceptional pair of early French Vintage Maison Gripoix Earrings dating to at least 1940s, possibly earlier. The legendary House of Gripoix played perhaps the greatest role in the rise of bijouterie in the early 20th Century. It began in 1869 when Paris master glass-maker Augustina Gripoix began making replicas of pearls and crystals. Using the pate de verre or glass paste technique, Augustina made her crystals by pouring the melted glass paste into the moulds skipping the furnace step, allowing her to achieve the purity of color, transparency and shine that has come to be so highly prized and reverred in Gripoix pieces. This simple method for the creation of breathtaking jewels resulted in Royalty and High Society clamouring for Madame Gripoix to create replicas of their fine jewellery in case of robbery or loss and fashionistas asking for new more adventurous jewels to be created to add to their repertoire. And so it is Madame Gripoix and some years later her long lasting partnership with Coco Chanel that elevated faux to new heights. That said, the craftsmanship was undoubtedly second to none and pieces from the House of Gripoix, either from their own line of for the couture Houses such as Chanel, remain highly sought after. This pair of earrings are crafted exquisitely from gilded metal, filled with turquoise glass pates and clear paste accent stones for the framing. There is some very light age related wear to the gripoix glass on the reverse of one earrings with a hairline although the glass remains secure and overall the earrings remain in good vintage condition. 6cm.

The earrings are made in three parts. There is a tanzanite stud that is separate from the dangle earring. The dangle is made with sapphires, tanzanites and diamonds and has a flower "jacket".

- 14k Gold Dangle Earrings with White Akoya PearlsBy Martha SeelyLocated in Carlisle, MAThese pearl earrings are the new power pearls - definitely NOT your grandmother's pearls. They are Medium Spiral Dangle Earrings from the Orbit collection in 14k spirals with a 20 gauge ear wire and a lustrous, 7-8.5mm Akoya pearl. The earrings hang 2". The double-spiral is about 1" tall by 3/4" wide. And because of the way it is made, the spirals move, creating a different earring depending on movements. They are lightweight and elegant - a non-traditional way to wear a beautiful pearl. This design is wearable with almost every outfit - except the gym and the most fancy events. I even wear them with my blue jeans, when I run to the grocery store. These are simple and without any added diamonds, but diamonds can be added. These earrings are hand finished and fabricated. Standard for these is a white Akoya...Category
