These exquisite 18 karat solid yellow gold earrings feature a tapered, fluted swirl form and are completed with clip backs. No piercings needed! They are stamped 750 for 75.0% pure gold, or 18K and signed by maker, Judith Leiber. Each earring is 36.42 millimeters (1 7/16 inches) long by 18.47 millimeters (3/4 inch) wide. The pair together weighs 32.48 grams. Excellent estate condition from the collection of Elaine Miller of Raleigh, North Carolina.
Judith Leiber (born Judit Pető; January 11, 1921 – April 28, 2018) was a Hungarian-American fashion designer and businesswoman. Leiber was sent to King's College London in 1938 by her family to study chemistry for the cosmetics industry, in part since her father thought she would be safer in London in the case of a war. She was the first woman graduated to master craftswoman, becoming the first woman to join the Hungarian Handbag Guild in Budapest. In 1946, she married Gerson Leiber (Gus), who was a sergeant in the United States Army serving in Eastern Europe. They met when she was making purses for the secretaries of the American Legation in Budapest, and they moved to New York City in 1947. After working as a handbag designer for other companies, Leiber founded her own business in 1963. Leiber died at her home in Springs, New York, on April 28, 2018, just a few hours after her husband Gerson Leiber had died.
Developing a passion and intrigue for jewelry as a young girl growing up in New York, Elaine Miller built her collection over a sixty-plus year period acquiring her pieces in varied venues and always with an eye for the artistry and craftsmanship of design. The Elaine Miller Collection, located in Raleigh, was long known as one of the region’s premiere jewelry salons, and Miller herself was one of North Carolina’s foremost experts. She was also a well-known dealer in New York, where she attended the Parsons School of Design, and she was a longtime presence at prestigious trade shows up and down the eastern seaboard. Miller retired and closed her boutique in 2014
