OOAK Paula Crevoshay 18k Yellow Gold Pink Rose Pearl Quatrefoil Earrings

Regular price $3,600.00 $0.00 Unit price per


Presented is a gorgeous pair of 18 karat gold and pearl earrings by jewelry designer Paula Crevoshay. Each earring is made in a sort of quatrefoil design, with three gold leaves and a cluster of three pearls, surrounding a larger pearl in the center. The larger center pearls measure about 10.4 millimeters in diameter, while the smaller pearls are around 6.5 millimeters in diameter each. The larger pearls are a beautiful rich almost rose gold shade, while the smaller pearls are chosen for an almost gradient effect, with one lighter and one darker on the bottom with a more “medium” pearl for the top, but all in the same warm, rosy tones as the center pearl; the effect is more subtle in person than the photos make it appear, but the attention to detail and design shines through. These pearls are exceptional quality, as you'd expect from a designer with Paula Crevoshay's stated commitment to integrity and artistic vision. These earrings are made in an antiquities inspired style, with applied granulated decoration against gold with a rich textured finish, reminiscent of Etruscan Revival pieces. The earrings have butterfly style backs with posts for wear with pierced ears.

Paula Crevoshay, the designer of these earrings, is known for her use of colorful and exotic gemstones and for drawing inspiration from the natural world as well as cultures from all across the globe. Her work is displayed in (and, in some instances, even commissioned by) renowned institutions and museums like the Smithsonian, Carnegie Museum, the Gemological Institute of America in New York, the Natural History Museum of LA, and many more. Known as the 'Queen of Color,' she is not just an artist but an authority, sought after for her lectures on art history, design, and the science of gemstones, all of which knowledge she brings to bear in her stunning work. We are pleased and proud to be able to offer this one of a kind piece of hand crafted jewelry art for sale, as well as many others which you can find by searching 'Paula Crevoshay' in our storefront.

These earrings were acquired from an estate along with several other fine pieces of Paula Crevoshay's work, many of which came to us with their original receipts from EF Watermelon in Old Lyme, Connecticut, the brainchild gallery of two of the founding members of the American Gem Trade Association, which both gave a platform to jewelry artists like Paula Crevoshay and others of similar renown and supplied them with unique and high end gemstones in their capacity as dealers in fine gems. EF Watermelon showcased and sold her work directly, making these earrings single-owner pieces of undisputed authenticity. 

The earrings are in pristine condition. The pearls are clean and well set.

Each earring is stamped and guaranteed 18k as well as the maker's mark for Paula Crevoshay. Even the butterfly backs are stamped.

Each earring measures about 1 1/2 inches long by about 1 1/4 inches wide.

The total weight for the pair is 24 grams.
