Product Description

Bold, architectural, and a little bit theatrical — these earrings know exactly what they're doing. A radiating sunburst medallion with rope-twist bordered and centered with a small round stone, sits at the top of each ear. From it drops a substantial round medallion holding a reverse-carved glass intaglio — a delicate classical lady's profile carved into the back of warm, faceted glass/quartz so the silhouette seems to float just beneath the surface, framed by an engraved leaf-and-rope border that echoes the sunburst above. It's a more technically demanding carving method than a standard raised cameo, and the dimensional, two-tier drop design is the kind of confident statement piece that defined mid-century jewelry at its best. At roughly 1" x 2" (2.5 x 5cm) and 19 grams for the pair, these have real substance and presence without tipping into uncomfortable territory — clip backs make them wearable for non-pierced ears too.
