These exceptionally rare plique-à-jour enamel and diamond earrings were once part of the illustrious jewelry collection of Elizabeth Taylor.

Cascading below are enameled and diamond-studded peacock feathers, creating a bold and dramatic effect. Set in 18K yellow gold.
The exquisite plique-à-jour enamel work is a standout feature, offering a delicate translucence reminiscent of stained glass. This highly intricate technique, which gained immense popularity during the Art Nouveau period, involves the meticulous use of gold, silver and copper to create an effect that is both luminous and ethereal. The design of peacocks, a favorite motif of the Art Nouveau era and a hallmark of the Aesthetic movement, adds an additional layer of elegance and history to these earrings.
Renowned not only for her unforgettable roles in films like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Taylor was also celebrated for her extraordinary jewelry collection. Her assemblage, among the most significant in the world, featured iconic masterpieces from Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, JAR, Bulgari and other distinguished design houses. These earrings are further elevated by their provenance as a part of Kathy Ireland's collection. Ireland, a prominent figure who seamlessly transitioned from supermodel to dynamic businesswoman, has leveraged her brand's influence to become a major force in fashion and home furnishings. Alongside Taylor, the two have redefined the concept of "Hollywood Icon."
Circa 1930
