TIFFANY & CO. ELSA PERETTI 18k Starfish Earrings

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! Each earring takes form in a delicate starfish made of 18k yellow gold. The simple starfish incorporate dainty curves, one of the hallmarks of Elsa Peretti's works. A secure gold post is attached to the back of each starfish, and each post also features an 18k friction back. Both earrings are signed "PERETTI", "TIFFANY & CO" along the back of the earrings on the limbs of the starfish. Additionally, the backsides of both earrings feature "750" hallmarks and are stamped "SPAIN". A fabulous design from a legendary jewelry maker, these earrings would make a very fashionable addition to any collection, and would be the perfect gift for any sea-life enthusiast!

Measurements: Each starfish earring measures 1/4" tall and 1/4" wide.  

Condition: The earrings are in excellent pre-owned condition. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the yellow gold setting, and the earring posts and friction backs are secure and in good working condition.
