Aréthuse Earrings

DESCRIPTION 

Lalique crystal illuminates the motif of a woman’s face with an aquatic headdress in repolished satin-finish.

This feminine expression created in 1935 by René Lalique for a specially commissioned fountain is inspired by the myth of Aréthuse. Now emblematic within Lalique collections, the motif lends its image to numerous iconic creations.<br>Arethuse Clear crystal mounted on silver.

Lalique today is considered the jewel in the crown of the French glass and crystal industry since 1888 – a byword for excellence, a reputation earned through creating extraordinary pieces in crystal glass in its myriad variations. It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.
