Paloma Picasso’s bold mark
In the 1980s, Paloma Picasso breathed new life into Tiffany & Co., drawing inspiration from the spontaneity of New York’s urban art scene. The ‘X’ motif, a universal symbol of the kiss, is reinterpreted here in the form of stud earrings with clean, sensual lines. Entirely crafted from 18K yellow gold, these second-hand stud earrings stand out for their sculptural simplicity and become an intimate signature when worn.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting features two metal ribbons with a generously curved profile that intertwine fluidly, creating a three-dimensional form without any sharp edges. The fastening system consists of smooth posts fitted with safety grooves, which click securely into Belgian push-back clasps. The full mirror polish emphasises the softness of the curves and ensures a warm reflection of light on the precious alloy.
Why choose these second-hand earrings
Purchasing this classic design second-hand is a highly rational decision. The use of solid 18K gold ensures absolute resistance to tarnish, unlike plated fashion pieces. This is an opportunity to incorporate a timeless icon of contemporary jewellery design into your everyday wardrobe, whilst avoiding the mark-up applied to new items on the market.
Contents and condition
These stud earrings have a discreet span of 1 cm, ideal for accentuating the wearer’s profile. The backs of the motifs, as well as the clasps, bear the official hallmarks certifying the 750 fineness and the ‘T&Co’ signature. The integrity of the posts and the tension of the butterfly clasps have undergone rigorous technical inspection. The set comes with a The Swiss Collector presentation box.
