Raymond Yard is among the most renowned American guild jewelry houses, its name synonymous with the finest craftsmanship and materials used in luxury jewelry! This striking pair of earrings were crafted in the 1940s around WWII in a rare moment when Yard turned to yellow gold for his designs, as the war effort made scarce the platinum he nearly exclusively worked with. Their design is of the era: radiant ridges create a brilliant play of light in the absence of gemstones, while the gold asymmetrically curls at the bottom and top, tapered down in the shape of a shield. Three rings at the top center create a bow-like effect of the scrolled top, almost like a hand holding up a decree for all to see, perhaps ordering the utmost elegance and chic retro design! This gorgeous pair are a remarkable piece of history and remain both stylish and sophisticated decades later!
