18 Karat Yellow Gold 'Dolphin' Ear Clips With Diamonds

About the Item

This pair of whimsical ear clips are modelled to depict ancient dolphins as they were rendered in Italian art. Crafted from 18 karat yellow gold, the ear clips are designed to sit at the bottom of the lobe and sweep up the ear. Parts of the body of each dolphin are satin finished, while other parts are highly polished giving areas more definition. Each ear clip's 'eye' has been bezel set with a single cut diamonds of G colour and VS clarity totalling 0.06 carat the pair. A further three diamonds are suspended from each dolphin in a teardrop shape, each brilliant cut and of H colour and VS-SI clarity totalling 0.09 carat. The pair terminate with a sprung yellow gold keyhole ear clip which are both working well and are secure. In Italian art from ancient times right through to the renaissance and even into the 18th and 19th century, dolphins were depicted as mythical creatures, in a very similar style to these ear clips. Beautifully made and incredibly whimsy, this pair of ear clips are going to be unlike anything your friends and family have seen before when you debut them.

Andrew Grima 18 Karat Gold, Citrine and Diamond Ear Clips
By Andrew Grima
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
The most incredible pair of gold ear clips by perhaps the most famous modernist jeweller to have lived, Andrew Grima. Formed from 18 karat gold this 'nest' style pair of ear clips are crafted with satin finished gold bars which interconnect, each centring on an octagonal citrine and accented with baguette cut diamonds. The three dimensional clips are typical of the work by Grima in the 1960s and is reminiscent of some of the famed pieces he made for royalty and high society. The rear of the clips are marked for Haller Jewellery Company which is where Grima first began designing his jewels before forming his own company. Fully hallmarked with London hallmarks, the ear clips (and matching brooch) are assayed for 1965. To the rear there are hinged clips which are working well and are secure. Andrew Grima most notably has designed jewels for Princess Margaret, Princess Anne and the Queen, and his jewels in recent years have become extremely desirable. This pair of clips are truly one of a kind and they have all of us at The Antique Guild...

Bulgari 18k Yellow Gold Diamond Ear Clips
By Bulgari
Located in New York, NY
This pair of alluring Bulgari Diamond Spiral Oval Button Earrings are covertly sexy and a little dangerous, because what is coyer than a coiled resting snake? Perhaps a woman making a pretense of shyness or modesty to be beguiling. At the end of a spiral of round brilliant-cut diamonds set in 18K yellow gold, the rattler’s tail is subtly depicted using gold milgrain and negative space. If we can read meaning into the materials, the abrupt break in the diamond pattern provocatively suggests a presence of danger, as it is the viper’s tail that signals danger, which is also part of the allure. The Bulgari Serpenti is a legendary icon, first introduced over seventy years ago and produced in numerous spectacular renditions over the years to the present day. The original Bulgari Serpenti was created in the 1940s by Sotirio Georgis Bulgari (originally Sotirios Voulgaris from Greece), who founded the house in Rome in 1884. The Serpenti was portrayed as the seductive serpent from Greek mythology and made in the Tubogas style, or flexible tubular chain, which climbed the wrist like a sinewy snake and quickly garnered a cult following. Although not made in the three-dimensional signature segmented style, these coiled viper earrings...
