About the Item
An enchanting pair of vintage Mauboussin Paris diamond earrings from 1980s. They showcase approximately 2.5 carats of sparkling diamonds of high color and clarity (F to G / VVS to VS) set in shimmering 18 karat yellow gold. The earrings feature attractive design of two interlocked rectangles encrusted with round brilliant diamonds. They are further embellished by two beautifully crafted swag-like corners which elegantly cross over in vertical and horizontal directions. Mauboussin masterfully unites dazzling geometry and radiance of diamond-set rectangles with graceful curves and rich glow of yellow gold corners in creating an intriguing and sophisticated pair of earrings. Superb craftsmanship and design create maximum diamond exposure where glittering brilliants are on view from the front and equally from the wearer’s profile. Elegantly glamorous while also fresh and modern, these unique earrings will delight their wearer. They are in excellent original condition with Mauboussin Paris signature, serial number and French hallmarks. Earrings are clip-ons but posts can be added if necessary for pierced ears. Also available under separate listings in our store are a matching ring, bracelet, and necklace from Mauboussin Paris.

Mauboussin
During the roaring ’20s, Paris saw a confluence of wealthy and creative people flock to the city from all over the world, like artists, writers, princes and singers. Designer Georges Mauboussin understood the vibrant and cosmopolitan spirit of the time, and at the jewelry house he would propel to fame, Mauboussin, he became an iconic creator of Art Deco jewelry, using jade, lapis lazuli, pearls and other precious materials imported from around the globe.
The Mauboussin brand owes its success to expertise with precious metals and gems and its illustrious clientele. The fine jewelry house, originally founded in Paris in 1827 as the Maison Noury, is known for being highly experimental with mountings for diamonds, finding inspiration in fields like aeronautics (Georges’s son Pierre Mauboussin got into the airplane engineering business in the late 1920s) and filing patents for many of its inventions.
This modern sensibility drew royal clients from the Middle East and Egypt (Queen Nazli owned several dazzling pieces), as well as Hollywood stars like Marlene Dietrich and Charlie Chaplin. However, its most significant royal relationship was with the stylish maharaja of Indore, Yashwant Rao Holkar II, who designated Mauboussin as his official purveyor in 1933. One of the maison’s legendary pieces for the maharaja is a necklace that uses two of the world’s most beautiful diamonds, the Indore Pears, part of the maharaja’s collection.
In its long history, Mauboussin has found creative and beautiful ways to incorporate the tastes of the time into its luxury jewelry, responding to movements like Cubism as well as crises like the Great Depression when it shifted to more affordable pieces that would be available to a larger audience. (From 1936 to 1953, Mauboussin also partnered with Trabert & Hoeffer to stay afloat following the Wall Street crash.) In the 1990s, the company expanded into perfume and watches. Galeries Lafayette acquired a majority stake in the company in 2019 with the jeweler continuing to showcase a dedication to its French heritage with an international approach to design.

Detailed description: Central oval rubies are encircled by alternating bands of smaller diamonds and rubies creating an eye-catching color contrast that Bulgari is celebrated for. As a feature of bombe-design, there is a gradual sloping upwards from outer bands to the center rubies that gives the earrings a wonderful 3-dimensional quality and volume. The bombe-design, with a prominent gemstone at its domed center, also echoes the iconic and enduring Bulgari Trombino design (introduced in their rings in the 1930s) which allowed a large gemstone to ‘stand proud’ on top of a pave and baguette diamond setting...
