Mid 20th Century Snowbells Diamond & Pearl Earrings in 14k Gold

An elegant pair of mid-twentieth-century earrings, modeled in 14k white gold, whose aesthetic roots lie in the Art Nouveau era. These icy darlings feature intricate, folate, open-work tops that are encrusted with single-cut white diamonds— luminous, white, cultured pearl drops hang below these curling forms, like pendant flowers. We love the wild, unbound quality of the folate tops, alongside the smooth well-mannered pearls. Edges are finished with delicate milgrain. Post backs. These have a modest drop, and are fairly lightweight.
