Vintage 18K Gold and Ruby Clip-On Earrings

These 1980s earrings offer a bold abstraction in 18k yellow gold, their jagged, layered silhouettes evoking shattered glass or bursts of flame. Set within the outer curves, vibrant rubies—totaling approximately 0.96 carats—are pavé-set to intensify their color, creating a halo of restless brilliance.

The composition plays on rhythm and form: sharp planes catch the light, while the rubies offer moments of unexpected warmth. A piece of wearable architecture, rendered in precious stone and metal.
