Created in the 1950s, the Van Cleef & Arpels Paris ruby and diamond clip earrings were manufactured by Pery & Fils. Each is designed as a ribbed gold leaf centering a line of round diamonds, layered over a field of round-cut rubies, with omega clip backs. Sculpted to frame the face in gold and touches of vivid red, these beautiful, stylized earrings are a classic mid-century Van Cleef & Arpels design.

Earrings of the 1950s-1960s took on a multitude of forms, from cascades to these ear hugging clips. In the tradition of passmenterie, gold was often worked into intriguing patterned surfaces.
