Object Description
A bold pair of 18ct gold and diamond hoop earrings by Kutchinsky, 1975, the large round shaped hoops of gently tapering form wider at the base of the hoops than at the top, formed in textured and ribbed gold and inlaid with three diagonal rows of graduated round brilliant cut diamonds, all to clip fittings. Despite their size, these earrings are very comfortable to wear with the clip fittings making them suitable for both pierced and non-pierced ears alike. The texture of the gold adds visual interest and catches the light beautifully whilst the diamonds add contrast and sparkle. A flattering and striking pair of hoops that are suited for both day and evening wear.
