French Plique-a-Jour Enamelled Corset Earrings by Au bout des Reves, Plum/Light Green

This jewellery is from the collections of Au bout des Reves, which are quite special as the designs are authentic antique French, reproduced from the original moulds created between 1829 and 1920.

These gorgeous Art Deco leverback earrings are set with cyclamen opal and olivine coloured Swarovski crystals and enamelled plique-a-jour (meaning transparent or stained-glass effect) in plum and light green. The earrings have a top layer of clear resin, giving a beautiful luxurious finish, which protects the enamelling. The metal framework of the earrings are French silver (silver plated copper or brass) and have been made from a stamping from an original French Art Deco mould.

• Handmade by artisans so slight variations are possible between pieces of the same design.
• Nickel free.
• Made in France by Au bout des Reves.
• Dimensions: H 75mm W 25mm D 2mm

The Au bout des Reves workshop is situated in the east-central region of Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes. The original antique moulds, from which the stampings are made, are owned by French company Janvier Gruson Prat, situated in the Marais district of Paris. A traditional French silver plating technique is used to provide a hard wearing, antique-look silver finish to the stampings, before being enamelled and set with Swarovski crystals.
