About the Item

Modernist clips-on earrings designed by Georges L'Enfant for Gubelin. This is a very rare pair of geometric clips-on earrings, created in Paris France by Georges L'Enfant during the modernism period, back in the 1970. These sculptural woven earrings were masterfully crafted for the jewelry house of Gubelin in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with polished and textured patterns. They are fitted at the reverse with comfortable French omega backs for fastening clips and the addition of posts for pierced ears can be easily done. Maker: Workshop of Georges L'Enfant for Gubelin. Weight: 18.60 grams (11.92 Dwt). Measurements: 20 mm by 20 mm (0.79 x 0.79 Inches). Hallmarks: They are both stamped with French and Swiss control marks; the maker's mark associated to the workshop of Georges L'Enfant, the monogram mark of Gubelin, the mark for the assay of the gold, the six-digits serial numbers and signed as follow, "GUBELIN .750 373769 GL 18KT". Georges L'Enfant The French master jeweler Georges L'Enfant was born into the world of French jewelry design, and following several apprenticeships and studies, he set up his own workshop in 1900. L’Enfant not only was a superb technical jeweler, but he was also a creative jewelry designer, putting him in high demand with the established houses such as Boucheron, Cartier, Mellerio Dits Meller and Van Cleef & Arpels. Georges was quite aware of his own need for posterity though, so he established a maker’s mark in 1909, proceeding to stamp each piece before it left his workshop. L’Enfant son and collaborator, Jacques, later developed the L’Enfant signature chain pieces, fascinated as he was by how the interlocking links could be arranged into a myriad of patterns. The jewelry atelier of Georges L’Enfant was in Paris, at 47 rue Des Petits-Champs. Gubelin The company was founded in 1854 when Mauritz Breit Schmid opened a watchmaker's shop on the Pfistergasse in Lucerne. a few years later, in 1861, Eduard Jakob Gübelin was born in eastern Switzerland. He subsequently moved to Lucerne and was apprenticed to the watchmaker Mauritz Breit Schmid. The year 1886 marked a special occasion in the young watchmaker's life as Eduard Jakob Gübelin married bertha Sophia Breit Schmid, the daughter of his old master. In the same year, the two men became business partners, managing the growing company together. In the 1920s Gübelin opened its own jewelry atelier and at the same time set up a small gemological laboratory so that it could test – and be sure of the authenticity – of the stones its jewelers used. It also continued making and repairing fine watches for a discerning clientele, developing a reputation that soon reached throughout Europe and overseas. Since 1854, the house of Gübelin has always been in the hands of the family and led by a family member throughout time the Gübelin family carefully nurtured its traditions. It kept the company’s core values alive and passed them on to the next generation which contributed to the success and growth of the Swiss house.
