Bold, sculptural, and unmistakably glamorous, the earrings showcase large freeform turquoise cabochons framed by dimensional textured goldwork accented with brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.10 carats.
The design reflects the dramatic Modernist and Brutalist jewelry movement of the era, where jewelry became wearable art through strong architectural forms and organic asymmetry. The vivid turquoise contrasts beautifully against the warm gold finish, while scattered diamonds add subtle brilliance throughout the composition.
Substantial in scale and beautifully constructed, the earrings measure approximately 2.5 inches in length and weigh an impressive 55.50 grams, giving them exceptional presence on the ear.
A rare and visually commanding pair ideal for collectors of vintage Italian jewelry and statement gold pieces.
