The sculpted peridot displays elegant scrolling motifs and a luminous olive-green tone, giving the pair a sculptural, almost architectural presence on the ear.
Approximately 2.00 carats of diamonds encircle the gemstones, adding sparkle and contrast to the rich gold setting. Substantial in both look and feel, the earrings weigh 21.37 grams and measure about 1.25 inches long, making them a bold statement jewel while remaining refined and wearable.
The craftsmanship, weight, and design language strongly reflect high-quality French atelier work from the mid-20th century. These are collector-level vintage earrings—distinctive, luxurious, and impossible to overlook.
