18K Gold, Turquoise and Diamond Earrings, Italy, Vintage

Turquoise – a stone that for centuries symbolized protection, success and strength, was valued both in ancient Egypt and in the courts of European aristocrats. In the 1950s and 1960s, in the era of great jewelry houses and bold, expressive forms, turquoise returned to favor, becoming one of the favorite stones in haute couture jewelry.

These stunning clip-on earrings, made of 18-karat white gold, are a tribute to those years. Their form refers to floral motifs, which have remained a symbol of femininity and romanticism for decades since the Victorian era. Six oval-cut turquoises, set in subtle paws, create a spatial, lively composition reminiscent of a blooming flower. Their intense blue contrasts with the cool shine of diamonds with a total weight of 0.66 ct, set in frames typical of vintage jewelry.

In the 1950s and 1960s, turquoise gems adorned the creations of the most famous women in the world – from Elizabeth Taylor to Jackie Kennedy. In those days, jewelry was supposed to speak about style, but above all about personality. These earrings, thanks to their expressive design, perfectly capture the spirit of those years: luxury, freedom and artistic lightness.

This is jewelry that is not only an ornament, but also a reflection of history – a time when jewelers were able to enchant the entire essence of femininity and timeless elegance in gold and stones.
