Vintage 1970s 18KT Gold Sapphire & Chrysoberyl Clip Earrings
A bold pair of vintage clip earrings crafted in solid 18KT yellow gold, dating to the 1970s. Each earring centres on a large round cabochon chrysoberyl of soft, luminous tone, framed by a scalloped halo of round brilliant-cut blue sapphires. The strong scale, saturated colour contrast, and sculptural gold mounts are characteristic of high-quality 1970s jewellery, designed for impact and presence. A striking and substantial pair with excellent gemstone weight and period character.
