There is something magical about earrings - they remain the most demanding and the most rewarding examples of the jeweller’s art.

The great names among the designers and international jewelry houses are all represented - among them Boucheron, Cartier, Mellerio, Van Cleef & Arpels, Verdura, Andrew Grima, Bulgari, Marina B., David Webb, Harry Winston and Graff. Illustrations cover every period and style, from Classical motifs to Rococo flowers to the bold lines of Art Deco creations.
