Curiously timeless
French vintage 18K gold blue sapphire snake tail earrings
If you are looking for some enchanting colors to celebrate the arrival of the spring, these candy-bright earrings made of blue sapphires are certain to get you noticed. It might have a reputation as being a "traditional" choice, but blue sapphires continue to shine bright in our eyes. These beautiful sapphire earrings stand out by their buttery 18K gold mounting with a cute snake-tail motif design, which sets off the attractive sapphire cabochons even more to advantage. The two sapphire cabochons, on their side, show a vivid and saturated deep blue color. The earrings date back to the mid 20th century, circa 1950s.
The earrings can be your next favorite day pieces thanks to their versatility: they can be easily paired with a casual outfit (white t-shirt) but they look also beautiful with a more sophisticated look, such as a blue summer lace dress.
The earrings have the butterfly closure for pierced ears.
