The textured gold of these earrings appears on varied Van Cleef & Arpels jewels of the 1970s, when they entered an experimental phase. Examples of the firm's work in this area include texturing gold to resemble varied surfaces such as the moon, in an engraved pendant dating from 1969, and the sun in a pair of handworked manchettes advertised in 1972.
