Content description:
Trapezoidal swathes of 24Kt gold decorate the textured surface of sterling silver half cylinders. Pearls dangle from twisted gold wire on each side of the cylinder - moving independently from the main body of the earring. Resnikoff became an expert at the ancient Korean art of gilding known as Keum-boo. These are her personal earrings.
