SIGNED BY JAR: WE ARE THRILLED TO PRESENT THIS PAIR OF 'VALERIE' EARRINGS IN BLUE ALUMINUM BY JOEL ARTHUR ROSENTHAL ⎯ WIDELY KNOWN AS THE GREATEST JEWELLERY DESIGNER OF OUR TIME & THE ONLY LIVING JEWELLER WHOSE WORK GROWS IN VALUE THE MOMENT IT LEAVES THE PRIVATE ATELIER IN PLACE VENDÔME. A unique opportunity to purchase one of JAR's most celebrated icons — the unfolding petal theme, on clip-on earring form — at a very fair price. These earrings were purchased by the owner directly from JAR in Place Vendôme.


A COLLECTOR'S MUST: This pair of JAR Paris blue aluminum 'Valerie' earrings are, without an iota of a doubt, in every collector's checklist of absolute must-have jewels. This is for two reasons: first, they're so ultralight, these are likely the most wearable statement jewels in our catalogue. Secondly, being from JAR, these will not only start conversations but also bring return on your investment in the not-too-distant future.

STYLE: Hair down, hair up; dressed down, dressed up; this is a pair that will rock your every look and your every outfit. Imagine these blue babies with a cashmere crewneck and jeans; picture them against a black velvet dress: they will always bring a ray of electricity to your face.

Our Price Analysis

AN OPPORTUNITY: An iconic, signed pair of JAR Paris ‘Valerie’ aluminium earclips in blue with 18k yellow gold backs, in near-mint condition, at a price that is exceptionally competitive against international secondary-market offerings.

  • DESIGN & ICON: Sculptural JAR ‘Valerie’ earclips in anodised blue aluminium with 18k yellow-gold clip backs: one of the jeweller’s most recognisable contemporary designs, admired for its bold volume, sleek silhouette, and saturated colour.
  • CONDITION: Barely worn, as good as new. Single-owner jewel purchased directly from JAR’s private Place Vendôme salon and preserved with its original JAR pouch. A level of freshness rarely available in the secondary market.
  • HERITAGE & RARITY: JAR pieces are produced in extremely small numbers and released discreetly; ‘Valerie’ earrings appear infrequently with reputable dealers, and blue aluminium examples are particularly sought after.
  • WEARABILITY: Despite their sculptural presence, the anodised aluminium construction keeps them unexpectedly light, making them ideal statement earrings that remain comfortable for extended wear.

COLLECTOR VALUE: A highly collectible, signed JAR Paris jewel, combining one of his emblematic aluminium forms with gold fittings, direct Place Vendôme provenance, and near-pristine condition for new & seasoned JAR collectors.

PRICE VALUE: At the time of listing, comparable JAR ‘Valerie’ earrings in aluminium and gold are being offered by respected dealers in the region of £10,000–£16,000+, including examples in blue, purple and other anodised colours. Against this backdrop, our price of £10,500 for a blue pair with first-owner provenance and original pouch represents an excellent value within today’s secondary market for JAR.
