Pearl & Blown Glass Flower Earrings from France

These vintage flower earrings have clusters of tiny faux pearls with blown-glass flowers and leaves. The design and style of the beads remind me of the work of the French maker Louis Rousselet, although the ear clips are not the same as those he typically used. However, the findings I’m familiar with would have been too small for this 1950s creation. Please note that although these earrings are not mirror images, the lack of symmetry – which is not unusual in hand-strung pieces – does not detract from their lovely appearance. What a great choice for a bride!
