Pierre Balmain

1980s Gold-Plated Faceted Glass Gemstone Jewelry Parure

This 1980s Pierre Balmain three-piece jewelry set is gold-plated metal with glass gemstones. Each piece is signed "BALMAIN - PARIS". The necklace is a teardrop pendant with a faceted conical gemstone on a 21" snake chain with a spring ring clasp. The pendant is 3" long and 1" wide, and the necklace weighs 60g. The clip-on earrings have round checkerboard-cut glass gemstone. They measure 1" x 7/8". The cuff bracelet has two faceted conical gemstones. It weighs 100g, with a 1 1/8" opening.

Overall the set is in very good condition; there are some minor scratches on the metal and a couple of tiny imperfections in the glass gemstones that are only visible under close inspection. There is a chip in the gold plating on the top of one of the earrings, which isn't visible while worn. We have adjusted the price to reflect these flaws.
