Vintage John Donald 18K Textured Gold Organic Form Eye Agate Earrings, 1968
About the Item
Described as an "elegant revolutionary", John Donald gained international acclaim in the 1960's when Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret purchased his glamorous, modern jewels following an introduction by Anthony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon. Examples of his work are also in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, Museum of Scotland and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths.
"John Donald's designs perfectly caught the mood of freedom and excitement which swept Britain during the 1960's. Using simple materials such as gold rod and uncut crystal, he created expressive, abstract pieces free from the conventions of shape and style which had constrained earlier jewels."- wikipedia
These large, stylish earrings embody John Donald's aesthetic in the use of naturalistic textured gold settings, abstract form and unexpected Drusy Eye Agate central elements. Eye agates have been valued since ancient times for their special meanings and effects. They are believed to have the ability to turn negative energy into positive energy and improve self-esteem and confidence.
