Laurel Burch LEAF LIZARD Cloisonne Earrings RARE Vintage Jewelry 1980s Red Purple & Teal
Signed Laurel Burch "Leaf Lizard" on the back, these unusual Cloisonne dangle earrings are hard to miss!
They're each accentuated with bright details of gleaming golden brass. These dudes are 1.5 x 1/2" wide."
I bought these in the Fall '84 and are in pristine condition as I had a little one at the time who would not allow me to wear earrings. These have been sitting in my jewelry box forever.
These original Laurel Pieces are highly sought-after collectibles now.
Named and signed on the back: Laurel Burch LEAF LIZARD A Genuine LAUREL BURCH COLLECTIBLE from the mid-1980s.
This pair is in lovely condition, with no chips or repairs deals may be some very light, fine scratches or minimal wear around the edges. One post nut has been replaced with a silver color nut.
Laurel Burch went on to launch her business, now called Laurel Burch Artworks, on February 24, 1960. She began making paintings commissioned by restaurants, businesses, and private collectors. "I found metal in a junkyard and hammered it out on the back of an old frying pan." She began making jewelry and selling it on the streets of San Francisco from tackle boxes. Some local stores began stocking her creations, and a businessman, Shashi Singapuri, took samples of her work to China. She went to China in 1971 and discovered cloisonné, a kind of enamel work, with which she designed paintings and had the designs made into earrings.
There are a huge lot of nifty costume jewelry pieces from my personal collection being listed this week. Please stay tuned.
