Description

Another Gates of Paris exclusive!
This earring has the most flattering shape to it and is so cute you’ll want to wear it everywhere. The modeling of the body and face is just great. This chubby cherub on a swing was originally carved in wax in 1857! We brought it back from Paris; now he can be found only in our collection. For this example, we hand-cast him in solid 14k Rose Gold with a high polished finish. Each piece is solid, not hollowed out, for a substantial feel. 14k Rose Gold earwires. Double loop suspension makes these cherubs swing freely as you move. Earrings measure 2 1/4 inches tall. Completely hand crafted, not machine made, and only available in our collections!
Gates of Paris
is a unique collection of handmade jewelry by designer David Maurer, based on classic French and European designs. We travel the byways of Europe, visiting old jewelry manufacturers and seeking out molds and findings that haven't been used for over a century. Most of our pieces come from
original
molds
made in France and England between 1830 and 1910. We re-cast them by hand in a wide variety of finishes
. You'll find animals, cherubs, crosses, shields, fleur de lis, escutcheons, cartouches, grotesques and more... Victorian, Edwardian, Empire, Classical Revival, Steampunk.

On a scouting trip in Paris, we uncovered a
magnificent
trove of 19th century molds and findings hidden away in a remote corner of an ancient warehouse. These repousée pieces are amazingly detailed, reflecting the highest standard of French craftsmanship. You just can't get this
quality
in the U.S. Most of these items have not seen the light of day for at least 80 to 100 years!
We have selected the best pieces for casting in silver and various golds. Each is then polished and specially finished, and embellished with unique combinations of top-quality semi-precious gems. The result is a hybrid modern/classical jewelry that exudes timeless
French chic
and panache.
All jewelry is completely original to our collection and cannot be found elsewhere!
NOTE: If you don't see the specific combination of finish, stone, or chain with any of our castings,
please ask
. We offer all our designs in 14k or 18k solid gold (yellow, white or rose) as well as sterling silver, PLUS Rose, Yellow, Chocolate and Green Gold Vermeil (18k gold plated over sterling silver). We also carry a wide selection of stones and pearls, many of unusual shape, size and color.
International Buyers:
Please note, we have no control over
possible customs duties or fees from the buyer's government. Also, customs can delay delivery of international orders. These potential customs delays and the actual number of transit days are outside Gates of Paris control.
