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

The pair of very large clip-on earrings were handcrafted by Cilea Bijoux in France from emaline, an enamelled resin. Each one features three pansy flower shapes, graduating in size: the largest, at the base, in deep pink; the middle one in medium pink; and the smallest, at the top, in soft pink. They are hinged together with gold-plated brass links, and the top flower 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.
