70s/80s Rare Signed Repose Gold And Colored Glass Parure$1,250.00
RARE Signed Jean Simon Labret REPOSE Colored Glass Parure - Vintage Jean Simon Labret Necklace Bracelet & Earring Set - Modernist Jewelry
I have done extensive research of this set and I believe it to be a rare, limited series jewelry collection designed by the glassworks and mixed media artist Jean Simon Labret. The set dates to the latter half of the 1970s, and features a cuff necklace, cuff bracelet, and clip on earrings. All three pieces have lustrous gold tone plated metal foundations and are embellished with Labret's signature cerulean blue colored glass. The necklaces has a stationary cuff foundation with the optional glass pendant that moves freely. The back of the pendant foundation bares the signature and limited series denotation 7/7. The bracelet fastens with a hook latch on one side of the setting and is also signed at the interior with the same signature and denotation. A REPOSE stamp is found beneath the setting. The earrings have paddle back clips and no area for signature or stamp. Please note that the earrings filter the light just a bit differently in the photos but the glass is the exact same shade of cerulean blue.
Condition for all pieces is listed as excellent with only minor notes of handling and age. No damage, no discoloration, no verdigris, no overt issues to note. Presentation is phenomenal.
