Known for his architectural precision and powerful metalwork, Bondanza designed the Heatwave line to emphasize movement and texture. These earrings showcase deeply ribbed 18K yellow gold intersected by sharply angled platinum panels engraved with fine linear detailing. The contrast of warm gold and cool platinum creates dynamic dimension and dramatic light play.
Measuring approximately 1.5 inches by 1 inch and weighing an impressive 33.30 grams, they have substantial presence while remaining balanced on the ear. Omega clip backs ensure secure and comfortable wear.
Dating to the late 1980s–early 1990s, this pair reflects the bold glamour and confident design language that defined Bondanza’s most collectible period. Substantial two-tone examples from this collection are increasingly sought after by collectors of late 20th-century designer jewelry.
These are statement earrings — sculptural, confident, and distinctly refined.
