Vintage Birds of Paradise earrings, circa 1950 – Joyful elegance in diamonds and platinum
More than just earrings, a moment of flight made eternal. Shaped in mirror symmetry, these stud earrings in platinum immortalize two birds of paradise in mid-flight, wings spread and plumage adorned with 104 natural diamonds. Symbols of rare beauty, joyful movement, and eternal love, they are intended for those whose beauty surpasses ornamentation. Created around 1950, at a time still imbued with the grace of Art Deco, they offer more than a simple ornament, but a presence. As if the most elusive elegance of nature had chosen the ear as its perch.

Style specifics
This type of jewelry is very specific to the 1950s of the 20th century. The Art Deco period had only ended twenty years earlier and continued to serve as a source of inspiration. It is sometimes difficult (even for a trained eye) to distinguish Art Deco from the 1950s.
