From our Estate Collection, a striking pair of 14K yellow gold hand-made Retro-Modern earrings showcasing natural purple sapphires framed by diamond sprays. Crafted with asymmetric sculptural gold forms and bright polish finish, these earrings capture the bold elegance of 1970s–1980s design. Each earring features a vibrant heat-treated purple sapphire secured in a four-prong mount, accented by round brilliant-cut diamonds in shared prong settings. The result is a stunning interplay of color, movement, and light in a modernist floral motif.
