This exquisite pair of mid-century modernist earrings combines the brilliance of citrines and diamonds in a design inspired by the fluidity and elegance of a cascading fountain. Crafted in 18K white and yellow gold, these earrings exemplify the innovative artistry and attention to detail that defined American jewelry in the 1970s.
Each earring features 12 citrines, for a total of 24 citrines across the pair. The stones are meticulously chosen for their radiant golden-orange hue and are graduated in scale, enhancing the dynamic flow of the design. Each citrine measures approximately 6mm x 8mm, weighing around 1.2 carats each, bringing the total citrine weight to an impressive 28.8 carats. The citrines are beautifully mounted to emphasize their vivid color and clarity.
Interspersed among the citrines are 27 diamonds per earring, totaling 54 diamonds. These diamonds are arranged in trident-shaped sections, with 9 diamonds per section, cascading in graduated sizes from the top downwards. Each diamond ranges from approximately 0.01 to 0.03 carats, accentuating the earrings with a subtle yet brilliant sparkle, for a total estimated diamond weight of approximately 1.08 carats. The diamonds are expertly set in white gold, creating a striking contrast against the yellow gold framework of the earrings. The earrings weight total of 18 grams.
Designed for pierced ears, the earrings are both bold and elegant, perfectly embodying the modernist design ethos of harmonious geometry and fluidity. The combination of 18K yellow gold and white gold, marked for authenticity, adds a layer of sophistication to the overall composition.
These earrings are not only a testament to their era's artistry but also a timeless statement piece. Whether worn as an everyday accessory or for refined evening occasions, their cascading citrines, shimmering diamonds, and fluid form ensure they are as captivating as they are wearable. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
