These vintage earrings are crafted in 18 karat gold and built from a series of clean geometric forms. A small triangular top sits close to the ear, connected by a slim gold bar to a larger elongated triangle below. The lower drops are sharply sculptural, with long pointed lines that create movement without feeling heavy.
The polished surface catches the light along the sharp edges and flat planes, giving the earrings a clean, reflective finish that enhances their geometric form. Seen from the side, the construction feels almost architectural, while the long suspended form moves lightly with the wearer. They frame the face beautifully and add something unexpected even to the simplest look — a white shirt, bare skin, oversized tailoring.
The earrings are fitted with screw backs, a classic detail often seen in earlier fine jewelry. They could also easily be converted into studs if preferred.
Heribert Engelbert founded his jewelry company in 1920. During the 1940s, his son, Stig Engelbert, took over the business, and by the late 1940s, he established Ateljé Stigbert. With a passion for crafting unique designs, they quickly gained a reputation for their exquisite handmade jewelry. Over the years, Ateljé Stigbert has continued to thrive, captivating customers with timeless and elegant creations.
