Overview:
Finely detailed pair of vintage Tiffany & Co crescent moon earrings crafted in 18k yellow gold.
Paloma Picasso created a number of iconic pieces during her tenure at Tiffany & Co staring in 1980. A hallmark of her work is the vibrant use of colored gemstones. This stems from her appreciation for the extraordinary and vibrant color that nature provides, allowing her to work with large, impactful stones. The earrings are no exception. Designed in 1982 the combination of hematite, turquoise and coral is a wonderful representation of her earlier work for Tiffany & Co. Set in an off-center drop design the earrings make a bold & colorful statement. The earrings are fitted with omega clip-on backings for pierced or non-pierced ears.
The earrings are in very good condition and were lightly cleaned and polished.
