About the Item
A pair of mid-century drop earrings crafted in richly textured 18K yellow gold and set with natural Sardinian red coral. Created in the 1960s, these earrings reflect the era’s sculptural approach to fine jewelry, where organic form, dimensionality, and precious materials were explored through confident scale and movement.
The design features eight smoothly polished Sardinian red coral drops totaling approximately 32 carats, arranged in a dimensional, floral-inspired composition. The coral cabochons are framed by hand-worked gold petals with a softly brushed finish, creating depth and warmth while allowing the saturated coral color to remain the focal point.
Measuring approximately 2.5 inches in length and weighing a substantial 45.4 grams, the earrings have notable presence while remaining well balanced when worn. The articulated construction allows for gentle movement, enhancing their sculptural quality. Fitted with secure clip-back closures.
A refined example of mid-century modern Italian high jewelry, notable for its material quality, sculptural goldwork, and use of fine Mediterranean coral.
