Description
Andrew Grima 18KT Gold Opal Earrings
Made in 1990's, London.
Design Overview: These earrings, crafted by Andrew Grima, are a sophisticated example of mid-20th-century modernist jewellery design, showcasing a unique blend of geometric shapes and high-quality materials. The design embodies Grima's innovative approach, merging architectural elements with precious gemstones.
Material and Craftsmanship: The earrings are made from 18-karat white gold, characterized by a matte finish that emphasizes the angular, structured form of the pieces. The gold has been meticulously crafted, with sharp lines and clean edges that define the overall geometric aesthetic.
The earrings feature a distinct pyramid-shaped stud that transitions into a tapered, elongated triangular bar. This bar connects to the square bezel housing the opal and diamonds, creating a dynamic flow from the earlobe to the drop section of the earrings. The choice of a square bezel adds a strong geometric aspect, while the round opal softens the overall design, creating an intriguing juxtaposition of shapes.
The backside of the earrings reveals meticulous attention to detail, with clearly visible hallmarks indicating the authenticity and craftsmanship typical of Grima's work.
