Steinberger Studio Attributed French Modernist Pop Art Jelly Shard Lucite Sandwich Geometric Inclusion Pierced Earrings





Steinberger Studio Attributed French Modernist Pop Art Jelly Shard Lucite Sandwich Geometric Inclusion Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Artisan "Jelly Shard" Inclusions: A technical signature of the Parisian Steinberger Studio. These earrings feature perfectly sliced, straight-edged navy blue shards suspended at the fusion horizon of a deep-plane Lucite sandwich. The precision of the hand-laid inclusions confirms a high-labor artisan process where each element was hand-placed before the final clear pour.
Archival Clear-on-White Lamination: Crafted using the specialized Steinberger "sandwich" technique—a crystal-clear top layer chemically bonded to a solid white base. This industrial fusion locks the navy shards deep within the material DNA, ensuring the graphic geometry is protected from surface wear.
"Marble-Clank" High-Density Lucite: Confirmed by a 1.07 g/cm³ density ratio, these squares possess the superior molecular tension and optical clarity characteristic of Steinberger’s mid-century industrial pours. This provides a distinct, stone-like resonance and substantial "Executive" weight.
Stable Pierced Boutique Hardware: Featuring silver-tone posts anchored by wide-disc stabilizers. While most 1960s statement pieces rely on uncomfortable screw-backs, these were pioneered by high-end French boutiques for the avant-garde market. The visible ambering of the archival adhesive confirms their 60-year-old historical provenance.
