This pair of earrings, in solid silver, decorated with colored enamels and enhanced with gold, come from Bresse. These ear studs are fitted with a fastening system which is the ancestor of the alpa system which bears the words: “PROMIS-MECAN-BREVETE” appeared in the 1920s. Two hallmarks appear on the back of these jewels, one in the shape of diamond and the other a crab silver control hallmark at 800/1000.
Bressan enamels are made exclusively in Bourg en Bresse, they are composed of enamel and fine gold particles, they are set on a gilded metal, silver or gold setting. Regional tradition says that this craft dates back to the 14th century. They reached their peak in the 19th century and jewelry from this craft is an integral part of regional costume.
One or two small gaps should be noted in the enamel.
1930 era.
Diameter 2 cm.
