Description

CARTIER in collaboration with Madame GRES - Autumn/Winter 1979 collection of 60 pieces designed by Madame GRES - unique JEWELRY including a NECKLACE and a pair of EARRINGS. The necklace features four strands of pearls punctuated by two floral motifs mounted as removable brooches on the necklace. The brooches are centered with gray half-pearls surrounded by sapphires and smaller pearls. Ear CLIPS for pierced ears reproduce the same motif. These unique pieces are designed to move around the body and be worn in a variety of ways, matching shapes and garments to create a true symbiosis between garment and jewelry. We can assume that the inspiration for this set came from 16th-century portraits. Missing a pearl strand and a sapphire, a pin on the back of a clasp. Gross weight of necklace: 91.4 g. Gross weight of earrings: 22.5 g. This set is the result of a collaboration between the two houses to "promote French craftsmanship and develop exports". References Madame Grès, la couture à l'oeuvre, Musée Bourdelle exhibition catalog p. 159.
