Designer: Rene Lalique
Design: "Arethuse" (c. 1935)
Location of Manufacture: France
Period of Manufacture: Late 20th Century
Combined Weight of Items: 3.5 ounces
For your consideration is a fantastic signed Lalique French crystal demi-parure from the "Arethuse" design line. Commonly, this design is referred to as "Masque de Femme". This set depicts a smaller crystal version of a fountain René Lalique created in 1935 of woman's face with an aquatic headdress inspired by the myth of Arethusa. According to the Lalique website, "it embodies the imaginative power of its creator who was fascinated by women and nature". The pierced earrings are in their original Lalique jewelry box, with their 3-dimensional crystal plaques measuring 5/8" square and being housed in a simply elegant 24K gold plated frame and dangle. The ring carries on the design with a matching (in size and motif) crystal plaque being set into a 24K gold plated ring with a wave-shaped band - quite fitting for the overall aesthetic. The ring is a size 7-7.5. Finally, the bracelet carries on the same design as the ring, to include the wave-like banding but the crystal plaque is larger - measuring in at 7/8" square. The interior of the bracelet measures 2 5/8" x 2" with the cuff having some decent give and ability to be stretched open and molded to wearer's wrist. All pieces are marked "Lalique" with an impressed marking. While a version of this ring is still available on the Lalique website, the earrings and bracelet are no longer sold by the firm.
