This pair of vintage 18k yellow gold earrings by Wander, formerly known as Wander & Fils, showcases the brand’s signature craftsmanship rooted in mid-century French design. Featuring a stylized floral motif, these circa 1960s- 1970s earrings are composed of six rounded petals alternating between hammered and granulated textures, creating a strong sense of depth and dimension. The earrings measure 1 1/4 inches in diameter and weigh a substantial 45.5 grams. They are fitted with secure clip-on backs and can be converted for pierced ears upon request. Stamped “Wander,” “France,” “WF,” and “18k,” these earrings are an excellent example of French goldsmithing.
The necklace bears the French maker’s mark of W.F. inside a lozenge-shaped cartouche, attributed to the distinguished Parisian firm Wander. Originally known as Wander & Fils, the house operated under the W.F. maker’s mark, registered in France, and was known for producing finely textured and weighty gold jewels in the 1950s and 1960s. A rare and striking example of French convertible design, this Wander necklace blends elegance, innovation, and substance.
