Silver and gold earrings by Christofle, France, circa 1970s.
Christofle jewelry is rare to begin with, and these earrings are particularly uncommon.
The way the 18k gold intertwines with the soft hoops of sterling silver (925) is truly beautiful.
Christofle's combination of silver and gold is masterfully and wickedly refined.
It is a heart-capturing design that feels quintessentially French in its aesthetic.
The clips are gentle and soft on the skin while providing a secure hold for comfortable wear.
Features the CHRISTOFLE signature in block letters rather than cursive.
The French precious metal manufacturer CHRISTOFLE was founded in 1830.
The founder, Charles Christofle, born into a family of jewelers, pioneered innovative metalworking at the time,
taking on commissions for gold and silver work, including tableware for royalty and emperors.
From its inception, the company counted not only French royalty among its clients but also the emperors of Mexico, Russia, and Germany, as well as the Ottoman Empire—
the sheer scale is beyond imagination; it is simply fascinating. lol
In any case, with such a long history that continues to this day,
much like Georg Jensen, CHRISTOFLE's main arena was originally silver tableware,
which is also truly wonderful and worth seeing, but
because of this background, their jewelry production was very limited, making these a valuable archive piece.
