About the Item

A very chic 'front and back' pair of earrings, where the earrings appears both on the front of and at the back of the ear lobe , as if going through the lobe. Gilded in a soft gold wash with a crescent clear paste 'crescent' on each earring, these earrings are a most unique design and look, seen usually in real jewellery. Classic and yet highly unusual, this is a very versatile earring. Marcel Boucher manufactured costume jewellery from 1937 through until 1971, based in New York. He is one of the greatest designers of costume jewellery, if not the greatest. Mixing impeccable style, design and colouring, the pieces are always of the highest quality. Having worked as an apprentice to Cartier in France, his knowledge of fine jewellery nurtured many of the wonderfully conceived designs we now see, from his beginnings in the 1930s, through the 1950s and 60s.
