Description from the seller

Exclusive 18kt Yellow Gold Floral Bouquet Cocktail Earrings

Natural Mediterranean Coral, Intense Lapis Lazuli & Lustrous Seed Pearls

An exceptional example of high-end vintage jewelry craftsmanship. These exquisite cocktail earrings are masterfully sculpted in solid 18-karat yellow gold. They feature a dramatic, multi-layered floral or "basket" design that showcases incredible three-dimensional depth.

The outer perimeter is composed of a stylized crown of gold petals. Each petal features a finely detailed, brushed/chased Florentine texture that reflects light with a subtle, silky shimmer.

Nestled securely in the center is an opulent bouquet of natural gemstones. The color palette provides a striking, high-contrast aesthetic typical of premium mid-century Italian design. Intense, deep royal blue lapis lazuli cabochons contrast beautifully with the warm, vibrant tones of natural Mediterranean salmon-red coral. The composition is balanced by the soft, iridescent luster of white seed pearls. Each gemstone is individually held in place by delicate, hand-finished gold prongs.

Vintage Note: Minor natural oxidation and minor historical residue are present within the deep, hard-to-reach crevices of the internal openwork gallery and around the stones. This is purely a sign of authenticity and can be easily cleaned if desired. I usually do not clean items for sale but leave that desicion to the buyer


Metal Purity: Solid 18-Karat Yellow Gold.

Gold Standard: Stamped '750' (European standard for 18KT).

Hallmarks: Official Italian maker's registration lozenge stamp on the reverse.

Substantial presence on the ear without being overly heavy.

Natural Coral: 4 round cabochons (classic Mediterranean salmon-orange/red hue).

Natural Pearls: 8 round seed pearls (creamy white color, excellent orient, and skin luster).

Premium Mechanical Closure

Earring Type: Suitable for pierced ears.

Ergonomics: The broad Omega levers distribute weight evenly across the lobe.

Security: High spring tension prevents any drooping, slipping, or tilting forward.
