These substantial diamond encrusted leaf-form ear clips are curved the way a real leaf would be but highlight a magical blue sapphire vein up the center of each piece. The blue sapphires are set into 18k yellow gold to make them slightly three dimensional.
Infused with inspiration, the common leaf becomes extraordinary in the jewelers’ hands. Ancient Egyptions, Greeks and Romans all used leaf motifs in their ornaments. They saw leaves as a symbol of rebirth and renewal. The leaf motif flourishes in the 20th century designs of Tiffany & Co., Schlumberger, Rene Boivin, Verdura and Oscar Heyman. Each jeweler interprets the leaf in a distinct way. These leaf ear clips offer a classic simplicity with the surprise use of blue sapphire to elevate the design perfectly.
