14 Karat Yellow Gold Marguerite Stix Double Shell Earrings
About the Item
Crafted from 14 karat yellow gold with exotic clam shells with pink / lavender hues, these clip earrings are lovely on your ears. Marguerite Stix is best known for her shell jewelry and her collaboration with her husband on two books about shells. They founded the Stix Rare Shell Gallery in Greenwich Village, New York, in the 1960's. Stix also began to make jewelry from and highlighting shells during the mid 60's, retailing & selling out at Cartier's by the 1970's, prized by clients including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and also were featured in high fashion magazines such as Vogue. Only a limited number of pieces were ever crafted and, sadly, she died of cancer in 1975. The following is an excerpt from Richard McLanathan’s book, The Art of Marguerite Stix: “To Marguerite Stix art and life were inseparable. As a gifted child, a prize-winning student, a concentration camp prisoner, a penniless refugee, a designer of accessories for the haute couture, a factory worker, a recognized sculptor and painter, a creator of widely sought-after jewelry and of fantastic ephemera, she never departed from her deeply felt celebration of life and its meaning. Human sensibility, the wonders of nature, exuberance or despair, humor or play, vulnerability or bravado, infancy or old age, the simple joys of home or the elegance of the privileged world – all called into play her extraordinary talents".

Marguerite Stix
Marguerite Stix was born in Vienna and although she was too young to be a member of the Wiener Werkstätte she nevertheless became a protege of Josef Hoffman at a very young age.
Stix worked as a sculptor and artist in Vienna until she was forced to flee the German invasion of Austria in 1938. She fled to Paris where she began designing a line of ceramic pins and buttons. These became favorites of the haute couture houses of Molyneux, Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, Lanvin and Patou.
In 1941, Stix was interred in a concentration camp in France. When she was released, she made her way to America. Stix had her first show as a sculptor in New York City in 1951, working in terra cotta and bronze. She began to make jewelry in the mid-1960s until her death in 1975. Stix had a solo exhibit at Cartier in 1972 and the house continued to sell her jewelry.
