Laurent Gandini 9K Rose Gold Heart Shaped Earrings

Hearts with a fascinating history! Italian jewelry designer Laurent Gandini draws inspiration from antique ornament, symbolism, and the decorative arts, creating jewelry that feels both romantic and wonderfully unconventional. These beautifully detailed rose gold hearts feature delicate rue leaves surrounding an M monogram, a motif associated with Marian symbolism and traditional beliefs about protection. Purchased from Barneys in 2010, they are a lovely combination of old-world inspiration and contemporary design.
