Henkel & Grossé was founded in the renowned goldsmithing town of Pforzheim, Germany in the early 20th century by Heinrich Henkel and Florentin Grossé. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality costume jewellery and secured contracts with prestigious retailers such as Harrods in London and Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. Designers including Elsa Schiaparelli and Jeanne Lanvin collaborated with the firm in Paris, and Hollywood stars like Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo were among those who wore their pieces. Following the Second World War, the company became known simply as Grossé and by the 1950s, its jewellery being was sold in Christian Dior’s boutique.

In 1955 Christian Dior granted Grossé the exclusive license to manufacture his jewellery designs. The company produced both its own collections and jewellery for Dior, all crafted to a very high standard using gold-plated and rhodium-plated metals. Grossé held the Dior licence for 50 years, until 2005, when the company was acquired by Dior. Today, Grossé jewellery remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

Please note this is a vintage pair of earrings and there is only one pair available.
