These distinctive earrings are crafted from 18 karat gold, set against a vivid backdrop of green, red, and black enamel, and are each centered with a lustrous cultured pearl. The earrings fasten with the classic screw-back mechanism that was prevalent in jewelry from the early 1900s to the 1950s.
Their design, reminiscent of colorful sea mussels, brings a touch of whimsy and elegance, making them suitable for both formal events and everyday office wear.
This particular pair stands out as a unique find; most of Sigurd Persson's jewelry was created post-1950s, and these earrings' avant-garde shape captures his innovative spirit.
