These pendant earrings, made in 1922, are typified by their simple form. They are composed of a row of brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds holding a mandorla motif. The row of diamonds forming the central part of the oval is doubled by a row of calibrated sapphires. Emphasis is given to the dichromatic nature of this markedly vertical composition. These earrings illustrate the enthusiasm for pampilles accompanying the 1920s female fashion for short haircuts that exposed the neck.
