About the Item

A striking pair of vintage 18K yellow gold earrings designed in a bold checkerboard pattern, each set with alternating square-cut rubies and round brilliant-cut diamonds. The gemstones are arranged in a seamless grid, creating a vibrant play of color and sparkle against the warm gold setting. The earrings are finished in a classic domed button style, offering both presence and versatility. These earrings beautifully capture the exuberance of late 20th-century jewelry design, where geometry and vivid color combinations were at the forefront of style. The craftsmanship highlights precision stone-setting and a luxurious, playful aesthetic that remains timeless. Provenance adds to their prestige: the earrings were worn by acclaimed actress Catherine O’Hara to the Apple Emmys Party in September 2025, making them a true red-carpet jewel with Hollywood allure.
