Born in France in 1907, celebrated designer Jean Schlumberger emigrated to the United States after serving as an officer in the French army during World War II. After a very brief stint in the fashion clothing industry, he embarked on his path up the proverbial ladder in the jewelry industry, in New York City. There he was brought on board by the president of Tiffany & Co. in 1956 where he remained until his retirement in the late 1970's. His designs and creations have always been among the most sought after Tiffany pieces. Each earring is stamped 750, (designating 18K gold), Tiffany & Company Studios, and PT950 (for platinum). Gross weight is 29.30 grams. LLC
