Embracing the modernist ethos of the 1980s, these hand-crafted resin clip-on earrings from Migeon et Migeon are a testament to the creative fervor of the era. The earrings exhibit a bold oversized domed shape, with a frosted yellow marigold coloration, laid over a reflective silver foil backdrop. This innovative use of color and material captures the light in a way that is both striking and playful. The surface is meticulously finished with a textured brush technique, giving it a unique tactile quality that invites closer inspection.
Migeon et Migeon, the collaborative effort of French designers Marie Therese and Christian Migeon, were not just jewelers but artists who shared their vision through the medium of wearable art. Active in the vibrant community of "En Attendant Les Barbares," their designs were shaped by the cultural dynamism of Parisian artistic circles. Each piece they created was more than an accessory; it was a piece of contemporary art. The central feature of these earrings, a brushed brass starfish motif, is an avant-garde statement characteristic of the duo's desire to push the boundaries of conventional design.
As collectibles from a period rich in innovation, these earrings carry the "Migeon - Migeon Paris" signature on their underside, a mark of authenticity and quality. The meticulous manufacturing by skilled artisans and the selection of noble materials like bronze, hand-beaten iron, and gold leaf, underline the duo's dedication to excellence. The works of Marie Therese and Christian Migeon produced between 1986 – 1995, stand as a cultural artifact of a transformative decade in fashion and design, offering a glimpse into the past through accessories that remain as stylish now as they were when first created.
