These Ippolita 18K yellow gold earrings showcase the hand-hammered finish the designer is celebrated for, a faceted surface that catches and scatters light with every turn of the head.

The gold is formed at a full 1mm thickness, giving the pair a surprising substance in hand. That sturdiness means they resist bending and hold their shape through years of regular wear without special care.

Restrained enough to move easily from day to evening, the design relies on texture and warm 18K color rather than ornament. A classic example of Ippolita's hammered gold work, these earrings have the kind of timeless character that carries naturally into the next generation.
