François Schoenlaub for Guillemette L'Hoir Paris 'Paris Modernist' Lipstick Red White Op-Art Laminated Rhodoid Diamond Square Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Artisan "Puzzle-Inlay" Lamination: A masterclass in subtractive studio engineering. This features a domed white Rhodoid diagonal stripe hand-fitted into a precisely carved channel within the lipstick-red base. This "lock-and-key" fit is the definitive technical signature of the François Schoenlaub studio for Guillemette L'Hoir.
5mm Tapered Architecture: Carved from a substantial 5mm Rhodoid block, featuring a specialized "Diamond-Cross" profile with two tapered outer edges and a structural, thick center. This three-dimensional engineering allows the oversized 1" silhouette to sit flush against the earlobe.
Modernist "Op-Art" Silhouette: A bold, high-contrast diamond-square design that captures the avant-garde "Graphic Pop" energy of the 1970's Parisian studio era.
High-Density Studio Rhodoid: Boasting a substantial 7.3g weight, these earrings utilize high-pressure baked cellulose acetate, offering a premium "drape" and durability that modern resin or acrylic cannot replicate.
