A highly sought after pair of artist signed Frederic Jean Duclos sterling silver snail shell clip on earrings in excellent condition.
Here is some additional information I found on the internet related to this artist:
[Frederic Duclos is an award winning French designer of contemporary sterling and 14 karat jewelry and gifts. The Company was created under the guidance of Karen and Frederic Duclos in 1984.
Frederic Duclos is originally from Southeastern France, where for several generations, his family has been designing accessories. After completing studies in Paris, he was immediately drawn into the allure of jewelry design. His last year of college brought him to California, where he was introduced to Karen.
Karen, had started a wholesale jewelry and accessories business. She soon discovered a niche for designer sterling jewelry.
After meeting Frederic, they decided that there was a market demand for high quality sterling jewelry. For 23 years, Frederic has presented collections that reflect sensuality and femininity with a twist of reality. The numerous awards he has received throughout the years always encourages him to create fresh, new concepts.
Writes Frederic, "As I design a piece of jewelry, I envision a woman wearing it. Her face, silhouette, and personality reflect the statement I am trying to achieve. My goal is to capture the fundamental qualities of a woman's features, and complement them with refined embellishments. The best tribute I receive is when I meet a woman who is wearing one of my creations. I constantly strive to create beautiful objects for individual enjoyment."]
