A magnificent pair of openwork Art Nouveau earrings in 18K yellow gold, masterfully crafted using the repoussé technique to achieve exceptional depth and texture.
Each earring showcases a hibiscus flower—a cherished motif of the era—its rich golden petals set in striking contrast against soft enamel green leaves and elegant gold swirls that encircle the design. In Art Nouveau symbolism, the hibiscus evoked delicate beauty, femininity, and the sensuality of the natural world; with its distinctive form and vibrant colours, it epitomised the movement’s aesthetic, making these earrings both visually captivating and deeply poetic.
The earrings are fitted with fish hook closures and are lightweight, ensuring a comfortable fit for all-day wear.
