JAR Rare Gold Over Aluminum "Tickle Me Feather" Ear Clips - These rare Tickle Me Feather ear clips by JAR were crafted of aluminum with a heavy gold plating. Joel Arthur Rosenthal has a cult following which continues to grow, and secondary market prices for JAR fashion jewelry are continuing to reach new heights. Joel Arthur Rosenthal is famously inaccessible, never advertises his jewels and rarely invites anyone to view them at his blacked-out salon in Paris. JAR reportedly produces just 70-80 pieces per year and has a long waiting list of private patrons, leading to the high realized prices on the secondary market. In April of this year, a pair of these Tickle Me earrings sold at Sotheby's Fine Jewels Auction for $20,000 USD. The earrings measure 2.25" in length and 1.5" wide, and are signed JAR on one earring, numbered '65' and '74', and also bear the French assay and workshop marks. Condition: The ear clips are in excellent condition with minimal wear.
