About the Item

MCL, a French designer, designed these lovely clip-on earrings in the 1980s. The earrings have a baroque style, with a massive construction that captures attention. Its gilt metal frame adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, while the cobalt blue resin cabochons provide a striking pop of color. The texture of the metal frame and the smooth, polished resin create a beautiful contrast that makes these earrings an authentic statement piece. These earrings are clipped back. Each earring is marked on the underside with the MCL logo. The earrings are in good condition, with minor wear on the metal. Measurements: 1.38 in wide (3.5 cm) x 1.69 in long (4.2 cm). Note: MCL is a French designer who was active in the 1980s. He is part of a group of innovators, including Alexis Lahellec and Edouard Rambaud, as well as the companies L'Or du Soir, La Rose Pourpre, and Kalinger, who revolutionized French design in the 1980s with magnificent costume jewelry. To this day, the full name of this designer is not known.
