Pierre Balmain Haute Couture Goldtone Brooch Rhinestone Rings Paris in original box. Appears to be in near perfect condition. Brooch measures approximately 2-1/*" x 1-1/2". Born May 18, 1914 in Saint-Gennes de Marienne, Pierre Balmain grew up in the atmosphere of creativity and fashion, since his mother was a style consultant. And his father was the owner of a small sewing factory. Since childhood, fascinated by the process of creating beauty, he was destined to become a designer. Noteworthy, in 1939 Pierre studied the art of hand embroidery with glass beads in the workshop of Lucien Lelong. Also, he mastered the technique of working with rhinestones, gold, bronze and pearls embroidery, which became the signature style of Balmain. Immediately after the end of the Second World War, he founded the eponymous haute couture house “Pierre Balmain” in Paris. The high-end fashion designer received worldwide fame and recognition. However, in the 60s, the minimalist designer Yves Saint Laurent began to conquer all the best positions in the fashion world. In fact, the Balmain era passed. From the late 1960s the company began producing watches, perfumes and upscale luxury costume jewelry, which he created for two decades, until the 1980s. These awe-inspiring vintage decorations are rare and highly collectible. Shipped insured.
