Nathalie Jean Contemporary Iolite Sterling Silver Drop Dangle Double Earrings
About the Item
The sapphire's magnificent blue brilliance has enthralled and fascinated us since the beginning of time. The ancient Persians believed that the earth rested on a giant sapphire whose reflection coloured the sky. It was the gem of Apollo, worn by the priests of his temples. Tradition even holds that the Ten Commandments were given to Moses on tablets of sapphire, thus making it the most sacred of gemstones. In concrete terms, the sapphire is the product of the cut of a uniform and transparent variety of corundum, an extremely hard crystallized form of alumina or aluminium oxide, coloured by iron or titanium.
The angular configurations of this crystalline structure, magnified, inspired the shapes of the silver necklaces, chains, bracelets, rings and earrings of the Saphir Series, which bears the name of the gemstone without containing a single one. A conceptual device, therefore, engenders these limited-edition pieces whose scientific origins are transformed into jewels both modern and feminine.
The Contemporary Saphir Series travels on two parallel and complementary trajectories of fullness and emptiness, volume and contour, surface and line.
Saphir Absolu: jewels of definite volume with rounded edges, sensual to the touch, suggesting mass but guarding within themselves the precious secret of their mysterious lightness.
Saphir Infini: graphic jewels whose poetry emerges from the essence of forms, simple outlines drawn by a stroke at once incisive and subtle.
The Saphir Infini Double Earrings, a limited edition of five, are made by hand in Nathalie Jean's Milan atelier and composed of four hollow pieces in polished sterling silver ribbon.
Other pieces from the Saphir Series such as Pectoral, Tie and Choker Necklaces as well as Bracelets are also available on 1stdibs.

Ed Levin Pearl Earrings Modernist Midcentury Dangle Drop Sterling Silver
By Ed Levin
Located in New York, NY
This is a stunning pair of early signed Ed Levin Mid-Century Modernist Dangle Drop Earrings in Sterling Silver with Pearls set in a black anodized silver disc. The earrings exude the classic early Ed Levin design and they dangle wonderfully from the ear. I love this design so full of kinetic energy. The earrings are Sterling Silver. The discs have anodized silver creating the black background. The black silver and pearls create a wonderful dramatic effect.
The earrings bear the early mark of simply "Levin".
