Earrings - 18 kt. White gold Diamond (Natural)

Antique Monachina earrings in Rococo style – 1940s/1950s. Italy. Two diamonds cut in European cut, totaling approximately 2.00 ct. Fascinating testimony to mid-20th century high jewelry, this pair of monachina earrings embodies the stylistic transition between the late 1940s and the early 1950s. The setting is distinguished by a sophisticated pierced, interlocking Rococo-style workmanship, an homage to the sinuous and Baroque lines that the master goldsmiths of the era reinterpreted with extraordinary structural lightness.
