At the heart of each earring is a navette-shaped white gold bezel, set with three round brilliant-cut diamonds—six diamonds total, approximately 0.25 carats—adding refined sparkle and contrast.

These bold earrings measure 1.5 x 1 inches and weigh a substantial 30.51 grams, offering both luxurious presence and impeccable craftsmanship. The sculptural textured gold evokes a distinctly Italian modernist aesthetic from the 1980s, where organic materials meet bold form.

The earrings are fitted with posts and secure clip backs, making them ideal for pierced or unpierced ears. The reverse side reveals beautifully constructed goldwork with petal-like open filigree and a strong, wearable finish.
