Couture Chanel Pre1955 Signed France Gripoix PouredGlass Goosens Earrings

About the Item

This couture pair of gold-gilt earrings are both stamped "France" on their convex gold-gilt metal ear-pads, which is characteristic of one-of-a-kind designs commissioned by Parisian couturier Gabriel "Coco" Chanel before a brand signature was added to her costume jewelry in the mid-1950s. The construction matches unsigned poured-glass prong-set cabochon, prong-set crystal, and wired faux-pearl jewelry crafted for Chanel by Maison Gripoix, while artisan Robert Goosens likely designed them in the early 1950s given his similar style and personal collection of multicolor stones including veined turquoise. Since the 1930s, Gripoix was Chanel's Parisian workshop of choice for poured-glass jewelry. Given the clip style, these are post-WWII earrings. We price these lower than earlier Chanel costume jewelry that can date to the 1920s. For comparison to these rarer pieces, please see our other listings, such as for jewelry that Chanel commissioned from Parisian Louis Rousselet.

  • MiriamHaskell WWII FrankHess Rose Rhodoid & CrystalMontee Layered Clip Climbers
    By Frank Hess for Miriam Haskell
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Beginning in 1939, American Miriam Haskell asked her first designer since 1926 Frank Hess to sparingly use metal in their costume-jewelry collections during WWII while war materials were needed. So not unlike the Spring/Summer 2024 floral appliques designed by Balmain artistic director Olivier Rousteing, hand-crafted rose-motif plastic never looked more beautiful in the 20th Century than such eye-catching glossy creations as these ballet-pink clip earrings by Hess. In this reflective and sparkling pair of lightweight slightly asymmetrical climbers, shiny film-like rhodoid is hand-cut, layered in three dimensions for irregular shadows, and riveted with clear roses-montees to a thin silver metal frame, which replaced Hess' characteristic wired Russian-gilt brass frame while still resembling his earlier construction (see our other Haskell listing for an early double fur-clip chain lariat). The earring clips, with tiny holes that were used for unsigned Haskell...
