Why We Love it 
These exquisite earrings hail from a collection of handmade French treasures inspired by centuries of history. They ooze classic elegance. Are light and comfortable to wear; affordable and beautiful. 

Each pair of earrings is painstakingly rendered from original French archival moulds and stampings and hand set by highly skilled artisans with brilliant Swarovski crystals, the finest Austrian crystal available. Pieces are made of either 14K gold plating or “old silver”, a unique French process of laying sterling silver or 14K gold over a copper or brass base. 

About La Vie Parisienne 
Ambling about Paris in 1979, Catherine Popesco, discovered a treasure trove of jewellery archives – many over 200 years old in the old workshops of Paris. Most of these gems were originally designed by celebrated artists and shining lights of their era, such as Lalique, Mucha, Galle and Picasso.

Catherine decided to use these invaluable resources to design and create a collection of her own. Steeped in the tradition of exquisite French craftsmanship, her gorgeous pieces celebrate and alchemise the history, design, imagination and spirit of France and its golden Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras.
