Vintage John Atencio Square Earrings In 18ct Textured Gold

A pair of bold and unusual square earrings, artfully sculpted in 18ct yellow gold to resemble flowing ribbons. Mirror images of each other, they're like cool little "gift wraps" for your face and are meant to sit in juxtaposition on the ears to achieve their curious effect. The wide flutes on the wavy surface feature interchangeable buttery and textured finish, adding depth and contrast to these geometric stunners. Don’t let their substantial presence and significant ear coverage fool you; they’re actually quite lightweight and sit very comfortably on the ears. These striking pieces of wearable art are signed by Colorado-based fine jeweller John Atencio and date from the 1990s. Atencio launched his namesake brand nearly 50 years ago and started making jewellery with zero experience for the most beautiful reason of all: creating the perfect ring for his girlfriend. Every John Atencio piece is hand-designed by him following his distinctive classic yet bold aesthetic. His jewellery has heart, depth, and authenticity and is made to last. Distinctly different and simply showstopping, these unique square earrings will upgrade even the simplest outfit with a high-fashion touch.
