An unusual pair of gold earrings in the form of stylised limpets, their gently domed surfaces studded with small circular-cut diamonds. The natural curvature of the shell form gives the earrings volume and presence, while the diamonds add a subtle brilliance across the textured gold surface.
The design reflects the mid-20th-century fascination with organic forms, where nature-inspired motifs were interpreted in bold, sculptural gold. Both playful and sophisticated, the earrings balance naturalism with modern craftsmanship.
Mounted in 18ct yellow gold.
Circa 1960.
