Gripoix Red gem teardrop clip on earrings

About the Item

Designed by Gripoix in the style of Chanel, these unique vintage earrings display black glass beads hanging from an ornate gold-toned earring with large central red cabochons and rhinestones. A focal point of any outfit, these earrings can be secured with a clip-on fastening meaning they can be enjoyed by anyone. Sweep your hair back and let these one-of-a-kind earring shine. Colour: Red/Black Composition: Body (Gold plated metal 100%, Glass 100%) Measurements: Weight (single earring) 27.48 g Height 6 cm Width 4.5 cm Condition: Excellent Vintage condition. Please refer to the images for further condition details or ask for close-ups. All Gripoix glass jewellery is made by hand. It was in 1868 when it was first produced, and artisans in France are still making glass jewellery components now using the same techniques. Beads, cabochons, coated pearls, and other glass components like these will be found in jewellery made by Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Isabel Canovas, and Pierre Cardin along with other European couture houses. A limited amount of jewellery also bears the Gripoix name. It can take many man-hours to produce a single design. When glass is “poured” directly into a setting, it is sometimes evident when examining the back. Cabochon stones and beads usually have slight nuances from stone to stone since they are handmade, as noted in the Gripoix item shown here. It was too expensive, and still is, to use this type of French glass crafted by hand in lower quality jewellery. Many molded glass imitations, however, were used in less expensive, non-couture pieces.
