Each earring takes the form of a broad geranium leaf, its distinctive lobed silhouette articulated by softly curling edges, pronounced veins, and gently folded surfaces. Radiating from the center, the raised veins create a network of relief that follows the natural structure of the leaf, while subtle creases and undulations introduce depth and movement. The coloration is particularly expressive, with a warm orange ground irregularly mottled in deeper shades of rust and red, recalling foliage as it begins to change with the season. Measuring approximately two inches in diameter, the earrings possess a generous sculptural presence while preserving the spontaneity and asymmetry of their botanical inspiration.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJAR jewels occupy a singular place in contemporary collecting. Rosenthal is known for producing his work in deliberately limited quantities and for maintaining an unusually discreet presence, making pieces bearing the JAR name relatively scarce on the secondary market. His aluminum creations are a particularly imaginative part of this body of work, using an unexpected material as a vehicle for saturated color, sculptural volume, and his longstanding fascination with flowers, leaves, and the natural world. This pair, preserved with its original JAR pouch, is an especially evocative example.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWeighing 35.8 grams, the pair balances substantial proportions with the visual delicacy of its natural subject. Rather than presenting an idealized botanical form, the design embraces the small irregularities of living foliage, allowing variations in surface, color, and contour to define its character.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTwo leaves touched by the changing season, their creases and russet colors preserving the beauty of nature’s imperfections.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e JAR Paris (Joel Arthur Rosenthal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection \/ Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geranium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum with mottled orange, rust, and red coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2 inches in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35.8 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccompanied By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original JAR pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sculptural geranium leaf earrings with deeply modeled veins, lobed edges, and graduated autumnal coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e EA65622\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67844839473425,"sku":"EA65622","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Oct_8_2026_12_25_37_PM_4288405.jpg?v=1792680311","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/jar-geranium-leaf-earrings-in-aluminum-2010s","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
