Biche de Bere Paris Limited Edition Gilded Metal Extra-Long Dangle Clip Earrings

About the Item

These rare early 1990s futuristic gilded metal clip-on earrings by Nelly Biche de Bere, Paris, feature an extra-long dangling shape with geometric carved and see-through elements. The pieces have a semi-mat texture with an antique gold patina. The brand-specific engraving on one of the earrings reads: "24/289" because the set is a limited edition. We couldn't find the regular brand logo. Measurements: 1.75 in wide (4.5 cm) by 4.50 in long (11.7 cm). Nelly Biche de Bere (born December 5, 1964) is a French designer and founder of the brand "Biche de Bere." People compare her to visionaries such as Coco Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, and Philippe Starck. She graduated from the École Supérieure de Design Industrielle in Paris and the Pratt Institute in New York. She exhibited in Parisian and New York museums and worked as an industrial designer in New York for seven years before creating her company in 1993. The jewelry collections quickly met with success thanks to their design, quality, and originality. Biche de Bere opened several stores in Paris and France, then in the United States (New York and Los Angeles). The company opened its manufacturing plant in France in 1994 to supply the brand stores. The brand has up to 34 stores in France and 46 abroad. In 1999, it completed its offering with a line of women's clothing. Due to poor management, the company, which employed 180 employees, was subject to financial difficulties from 2006 until April 2007, when it was placed in legal receivership. Then, in April 2007, the Nantes Commercial Court put it into compulsory liquidation, immediately terminating the activity.
