Large Handmade Resin Cilea Paris “Kyoto” Clip-on Earrings

The pair of large clip-on earrings were handcrafted by Cilea Bijoux in France from emaline, an enamelled resin. Each one features a lower section in the form of a large circular turquoise-blue and black stylised waterlily leaf. This is hinged by a gold-plated brass link to an upper section composed of a cluster of three smaller waterlily leaves in graduating sizes, in soft green and turquoise-blue colours. This top section is fitted with a gold-plated brass earring clip at the rear. The clip pad is marked “Cilea Paris”.

Maison Cilea was established in 1992 in Paris France, when Stephane Ravel, previously an accountant, encountered the artist Monique Vedie and was inspired by the possibilities that the resin from Talosel, a cellulose acetate, offered in the innovative production of costume jewellery. He named the venture after his wife, and today their two daughters Ameline and Ambre continue the Cilea Bijoux adventure in creating fresh, flowery and fun treasures.
