Story & heritage

Fred Leighton’s official maker list includes Van Cleef & Arpels among the designers it curates, alongside houses such as Cartier, Bulgari and Tiffany. The hoop earrings show the brand acting as estate-jewelry editor rather than manufacturer.

The official listing describes these as 18 karat yellow gold coral and diamond hoop earrings by Van Cleef & Arpels, circa the 1970s.

Materials & craft

The earrings are listed in 18 karat yellow gold with coral and diamonds, by Van Cleef & Arpels. Their rounded hoop shape and warm materials align with the bolder gold vocabulary of the 1970s.

How to choose & style

Use them as the color note in an otherwise neutral look. They flatter linen, denim and camel tones during the day, then switch easily to a black dress at night.
