Seaman Schepps Cabochon Ruby Diamond Earrings in 18K Gold

A study in saturation and restraint.

These Seaman Schepps earrings from the 1960s center on richly hued cabochon rubies, their softly domed surfaces revealing depth rather than sparkle. Each ruby is embraced by sculptural gold prongs, with a narrow band of brilliant-cut diamonds set between them, offering a precise line of light against the velvety red. The composition is balanced yet bold, characteristic of Schepps’ distinctly American sensibility—color forward, quietly confident. A tactile elegance, meant to be felt as much as seen.

For the collector who understands that color, at its deepest, needs no embellishment.
