Mirella Earrings - Ruby & Sapphire, 18K Gold & Silver By Bochic

The Mirella Earrings are a Vintage pair from the Orient collection by Bochic, a traveling collection devoted to color, craftsmanship, and the romance of faraway places. Designed as serpents, an ancient emblem of wisdom, protection, and eternity, they carry the timeless grace of the Classical Greek style.

Natural rubies of approximately 4 ct bring a warm, vivid red to each serpent, while natural blue sapphires of approximately 2.5 ct add a cool and elegant contrast. Set in round cuts, the stones follow the sinuous line of the design, so the earrings seem to come alive with color and light as they move.

The earrings are handcrafted in 18K gold and silver, a combination that gives the serpents a warm, gently aged character. They are designed for pierced ears.

Dating from the late 20th century, the Mirella Earrings have been kept in excellent condition in their original box, with only light wear consistent with age. With a crisp shirt or a fine knit they add a confident, symbolic touch to daytime dressing. In the evening, they bring intrigue to a black dress or a silk gown, and they look striking with hair worn up.

They are a jewel for a woman who is drawn to meaningful motifs and classical beauty, and who chooses pieces with character and a story to tell.

The earrings are signed Bochic and are presented in a Bochic champagne and satin case. A gemological certificate and appraisal are available upon request.
