They are the classic French clip fastenings and a silver foil background. There is no visible signature like all the Monique Vedie vintage pieces.
The earrings are in good condition, with minor oxidation on fastenings due to light use and age.
Measurements: 1.57 in diameter (3.9 cm).

Note: Monique Vedié was born in the 1920s and has been a student of Line Vautrin in Paris, where she learned her Talosel process. When she established her company, Vedié designed cellulose acetate jewelry with rich colors, mostly fruits, flowers, and a few characters. In the beginning, the look of her pieces was very similar to Vautrin's work. All the pieces were hand-made and crafted in her studio. Although none of her creations are signed, her style is unique and highly recognizable. Before retiring in 1992, she worked with many prestigious Parisian fashion houses, such as Lanvin, Dior, and Ungaro. The signature style established by Vedié is continued under the name of CILEA by the present designer, Stéphanie Ravel. See less
