Crafted in Greece during the 1970s, these earrings showcase the house’s signature granulation and repoussé techniques, executed with remarkable intricacy.
The design features sculptural round medallions adorned with mythological motifs, suspended above open teardrop-shaped drops with finely textured surfaces. The articulated construction allows for subtle movement, while the rich gold finish gives the pair a warm, luminous presence.
