Gilbert Albert’s organic imprint
The work of the Geneva-based goldsmith Gilbert Albert draws its inspiration from a meticulous observation of nature. These 18K yellow gold earrings exemplify this philosophy through an asymmetrical structure reminiscent of a delicate plant nest. The finely sculpted and textured metal encircles a deep black onyx bead. The Maison’s signature system ensures the sphere is held perfectly in place whilst offering a unique sculptural aesthetic. A pre-owned piece that combines the art of jewellery-making with the poetry of minerals.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting reveals a distinctive textural effect, where the yellow gold is crumpled to catch the light on every contour. The irregular, dynamic lines of the precious material contrast with the onyx’s perfect spherical form. The clip fastening system, fitted with a stem, ensures optimal comfort and a snug fit against the earlobe for this beautifully substantial creation. The alternation of matt and polished finishes creates a captivating visual depth.
