The chromatic audacity of these Mauboussin earrings
In the early 2000s, the Mauboussin House shook up the standards of Place Vendôme by imposing coloured gems with resolutely uninhibited volumes. This stylistic bias asserted a sculptural jewellery style that was fully embraced. This pair of pre-owned earrings is a faithful illustration of this creative line. Each earring is set with an intense light blue topaz in a mixed cushion cut, estimated at 4.5 carats for an imposing total of 9 carats. Free of inclusions to the naked eye, these centre gems offer absolute clarity. The exclusive metal chosen for this creation is rhodium-plated 18-carat white gold.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The design of this piece is based on a particularly massive and architectural setting measuring 14 by 14 millimetres. The central bezel holds the topaz securely in place thanks to 4 imposing chevron claws directly integrated into the upper frame. The main body of the buckle extends into 2 finely crossed and openworked metal ribbons. A pavement of brilliant-cut diamonds set in grain illuminates the perimeter of the central stone as well as the lower arms, creating an optimal reflective surface for the light.
Why these second-hand earrings
Acquiring this signed Place Vendôme model second-hand is a particularly astute aesthetic move. The high-precision craftsmanship required to assemble and set such structures represents a considerable production cost in contemporary design today. This piece offers a generous volume of 9 carats of coloured stones complemented by multiple brilliant diamonds guaranteeing an exceptional wearing presence.
