Impressive Ear Clips with South Sea Pearls Set in Gold by Günter Krauss

These ear clips come from the studio of Stuttgart goldsmith Günter Krauss. Born in Pforzheim in 1943, Krauss became one of the most important figures in jewelry design in Germany. His works are still popular with international customers today, particularly due to their unique style and skillful use of exquisite materials, and are highly recognizable. The large ear clips are made of high-carat gold and four exceptionally large South Sea cultured pearls in silvery-white colors. Two round button pearls form the upper end, with two large drop pearls hanging below them, which give the pair an elegant movement thanks to their polished eyelets and caps. The unusual size and fine quality of the pearls with a beautiful lustre and only a few growth marks underline the design's sophistication. Krauss succeeds here in placing the precious material at the center of attention without overloading it with excessive design. The design as ear clips corresponds to the style of the 1980s. They combine quality craftsmanship with a calm, self-confident elegance that is characteristic of German jewelry design in the 1980s. The pair came to us from Stuttgart, the city where they were made. An impressive example of a pair of earrings that make an impact through material and scale.
