Urban aesthetics according to Paloma Picasso
In the 1980s, New York street art introduced new architectural codes. Paloma Picasso drew inspiration from this for Tiffany & Co., translating the lines of graffiti into goldsmithing. This second-hand piece of jewellery is part of this historic line. These asymmetrical earrings, crafted from 750 rose gold, embody the words ‘love’ and ‘wish’. The design is based on the designer’s handwriting, creating a direct and legible effect.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The construction of these earrings relies on precise wire-working. The lettering unfolds along a tubular gold profile of constant cross-section, shaped to replicate the fluidity of a continuous line. The asymmetry between the left and right earrings creates a specific visual balance when worn. The polish applied to the entire surface of the rose gold reflects light evenly. The minimalist structure ensures a tangible lightness, secured by a notched push-clasp system.
Why choose these second-hand earrings
Purchasing a pre-owned piece by Paloma Picasso is a discerning choice. This purchase allows you to incorporate the brand’s raw and historic visual language into your collection. This approach provides access to casting work faithful to the original standards, whilst preserving a precious alloy.
