HELLO KITTY ! M-C PAVONE KITTY KAT CHERRY RED EARRINGS

These gorgeous ear clips are new, never been worn and in mint condition. 
The design is the classic & original Pavone cat. The faces are purr-fectly innocent and serene.  The cats are shimmering cherry red faces with black disk mounts. Faces are hand painted and air-brush lacquered to transition to black at the tops. All constructed with vintage 1930's Galalith, and easily test positive. They dangle 1 & 3/4 inches in overall height and are just over 1 inch in diameter with snappy brass clip backs.
        This pair is unsigned, I snapped them from her display tray personally - provenance is not an issue.
A delight to wear! These colorful & dramatic original French designer ear clips will garner compliments for many years to come.

If you like the style of Pavone's playful creature & whimsical compositions, there are many more spectacular pieces offered here as separate store items.
Some are very rare pieces that will thrill any Pavone collector!

A little bit about Marie-Christine & Galalith

Marie-Christine Pavone is a highly regarded and very imaginative artist who lives & works at her flat in an exciting & very   mixed district of Paris. Her whimsical designs are created from very old stocks of early 1930's Galalith.
Her work is bright,  effervescent and always so very joyful to wear & share with others. Her pieces are substantial in weight and the quality is easily apparent when seen in person.
Sadly, she is also a very copied artist and most similar designs and many pieces claimed as genuine are counterfeit or poor copies. Ms. Pavone does make a few items in early Lucite/Plexiglas, but 98% are Galalith - if the item will not test positive as genuine Galalith, it is simply not her work.

Galalith is exceptional, often with complex & vivid internal color structures. It holds a very high & durable polish and has a weight similar to Bakelite. As with Bakelite, the material cannot be molded again and must be hand carved or machined to give it shape. Galalith was produced in the 1920's & 1930's in several European countries. Genuine Galalith is relatively rare here as it was not known to be produced in North America.  Galalith is easily hot water tested. Genuine Galalith gives a very unique sour milk odor that varies in intensity and can last several minutes and hot water testing does no harm.

This item is a GENUINE VINTAGE 1930's GALALITH artisan piece.
 Not one of the many modern fakes or modern resin items being untruthfully marketed as Galalith.
