Born in Florence, Elsa Peretti's first introduction with her collection began at Tiffany & Co. in 1974. During that time her collection debuted to high acclaim. Her inspiration in jewelry came from nature with elements such as bones, beans, hearts, scorpions, snakes, teardrops and sea-shells. Peretti's designs are translated in a wide variety of materials, however her most popular designs are her works in silver.
These beautiful estate earrings are designed for Tiffany & Co. by Elsa Peretti! A magnificent pair of earrings, they are crafted from 18k yellow gold and are inspired by the patterns and the repetition of a snake and its curvature. A simple post rests on the back of each earring, with an accompanying earring back for secure wear. Both earrings are stamped with the authentic "TIFFANY & CO." and "Peretti" signature hallmarks on the back, as well as a "750" purity mark. This fabulous pair of earrings by a legendary maker frame the face elegantly and would compliment any collection. It's perfect for any snake lover or Peretti collector!
Measurements: Each earring hangs 2.5" long. The widest part of the earring is 1/8 inch.
Condition: The overall condition of the earrings is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold, and the post closures are secure and in good working condition.
