The onyx is framed by precise borders of yellow gold, its smooth, opaque surface providing a dramatic counterpoint to the lively reflections of the brilliant-cut diamonds, weighing approximately 1.15 carats in total.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe design captures the bold geometric spirit of 1970s jewelry, a period in which Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels explored the expressive possibilities of ornamental stones, generous gold forms, and strong contrasts. Rather than relying on a continuous surface of gemstones, the maison introduces a measured succession of materials, allowing each section to retain its individual presence while contributing to the circular form. The rounded profiles soften the geometry, giving the earrings a sense of volume without sacrificing their precision.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMeasuring approximately 0.825 inches in diameter, the hoops offer a compact yet pronounced silhouette.
