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 1945 CrystalRosesMontees Filigree Glass Enameled ClimberEarrings
    By Frank Hess for Miriam Haskell
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Before the brand signature was added in 1947, Miriam Haskell's first designer Frank Hess since 1926 designed these asymmetrical Baroque-style climber earrings with hand-painted white-and-ecru enamel leaves, crystal and glass beads, and Russian-gold gilt metal flowers, which are attached to a thick filigree branch that launched the post-war style of covering wires used to attach roses montees and beads behind an additional filigree plate. A similarly constructed and shaped pale-blue pair of climbers dated 1945 are in the renowned Barbara Berger museum-exhibited costume-jewelry collection. Characteristic of the materials favored by Hess for his designs, the clear rosette-cut rhinestones, intricate gilt-metal decorations, and white round glass beads were handcrafted in France by Parisian Louis Rousselet, who was among the first paruriers for Coco Chanel's couture clothing since the 1920s. In contrast to bold costume-jewelry by Chanel using...
