Giampaolo Babetto 18ct gold articulated earrings

About the Item

Magnificent pair of 18ct gold articulated earrings (for pierced ears) by Italian artist and goldsmith Giampaolo Babetto. A Limited edition originally designed in 1988. Babetto (born 1947) has been a key figure in Avant-Garde goldsmithing since the 1960s, shaping jewellery art in Italy and globally. A member of the Padua School, he works across jewellery, silver, furniture, and architectural design. Babetto's creations, inspired by movements like minimalism, kinetic art, and pop art, incorporate architectural influences, such as Palladio's villas. His innovative jewellery, often modular or movable, resembles small sculptures. He favours gold, blending it with materials like plastic, glass, and enamel to create minimalist, geometric designs. Since 1967, his work has been featured in major museums worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
