About the Item
A refined example of European modern goldsmithing, these sculptural drop earrings are crafted in 14 karat yellow gold and distinguished by their rich surface texture and elegant articulation. The design is composed of stacked, oval forms rendered in a meticulous scale-like gold technique, creating a tactile, dimensional surface that catches the light with subtle movement.
Each element is individually formed and assembled, giving the earrings a handcrafted quality that reflects the traditions of Italian workshop production, particularly those associated with Florence and Vicenza during the mid-20th century. Accenting the gold are narrow bands of deep blue enamel, applied as clean, architectural separators between forms, adding contrast and rhythm without interrupting the organic flow of the design.
Measuring approximately 1.75 inches in length and weighing a substantial 29 grams, the earrings offer a luxurious presence while remaining well-balanced and comfortable on the ear. The clip-back fittings with posts are consistent with European manufacture and provide secure wear.
The overall aesthetic draws from natural forms—suggestive of seed pods or pinecones—interpreted through a modern lens that favors texture, proportion, and material integrity over ornament. Created during a period when Italian jewelers embraced bold goldwork and artisanal craftsmanship, these earrings embody the quiet confidence and enduring appeal of mid-century European modern design.
