Van Gogh Inspired Earrings: A Masterpiece by Larissa Moraes

Handcrafted Elegance Infused with Artistic Inspiration

Delving into the world of fine jewelry, we explore the stunning creation of Larissa Moraes. Her Van Gogh inspired earrings, a blend of art and craftsmanship, bring the beauty of the iconic "Almond tree in blossom" canvas to life.

These earrings are a testament to the designer's creativity and meticulous attention to detail. Drawing inspiration from the works of Vincent Van Gogh, Moraes has managed to encapsulate the essence of the "Almond tree in blossom" painting in her design. The branches of the tree are represented by currents, while the gradient of pink shades symbolizes the flowers in different phases. The earrings, much like the branches of a tree, exhibit balance and delicacy.

What sets these earrings apart is their unique composition. Handmade with 18k gold, pink diamonds, morganites, pink sapphires, and pink tourmalines, these earrings are a testament to Moraes' commitment to using only the finest materials. The earrings are light, perfectly trimmed, and innovative in their choice of different gemstones and shades of pink.

The earrings are crafted using 18K gold with pink tourmalines, pink sapphires, morganites, and pink diamonds. The matte and polished finish, along with the textured finish and Cartier-type chains, add to the overall elegance of the design. Each earring weighs 7.32 grams, with a length of 6.5mm and a width of 2.4mm.

The design process, which started in September 2019 in Brasilia, Brazil, and concluded in January 2020, involved extensive research on Van Gogh's paintings and the painted tree. The design was then adapted to the materials found, with a focus on finding stones of the right weight to ensure the earrings' lightness. The result is a pair of earrings that are not only beautiful but also comfortable, durable, and ergonomically perfect.

The earrings are a tribute to the Almond Tree in Blossom painted by Van Gogh. The delicate branches are reproduced by delicate Cartier-type chains that sway with the wind, much like the branches of the almond tree. The various shades of pink, represented by different gemstones, mimic the hues of the blossoming flowers. The cluster of blooming flowers is represented with different cut stones, creating a stunning visual effect. This design is the embodiment of spring in the form of a jewel.

These earrings have been recognized for their exceptional design, winning the Golden A' Jewelry, Eyewear and Watch Design Award in 2020. This prestigious award is granted to outstanding creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
