DESCRIPTION

Set with black bohemian glass pearls, our dazzling earrings are based on a nineteenth century French jewelry design from the hugely successful House of Robin. Established in 1824 by Jean-Paul Robin, its designs catered to the rising French professional and entrepreneurial class.

Produced in cooperation with the Musée des Arts décoratifs, Paris.

  • 1 1/4''L
  • Imitation rhodium overlay
  • Polished
  • Surgical steel posts
  • Black bohemian glass pearls and Swarovski™ crystals
  • Pierced

ART HISTORY

Drawing on the spirit of the times to inspire his pieces in enamel and chased gold, Robin captivated the fashion world of the period. Marked as "bijoux sportifs," this jewelry of simple shape and fluid line in matte finish could be worn in more casual circumstances than in the jealously guarded, formal occasions of the aristocracy. Nineteenth-century designs from the House of Robin, such as the one on which our earrings are based, have deeply influenced jewelers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
