Post-war French fine jewelry at its most poetic — these Van Cleef & Arpels leaf earrings, made by Péry et Fils circa 1947, capture the exuberant naturalism that defined the finest Parisian ateliers of the late 1940s. Each earring is a beautifully sculpted gold leaf in high relief, its surface alive with movement, texture, and gemstone detail that speaks to a level of handcraft virtually impossible to find in contemporary jewelry.

A sweeping channel of square-cut rubies traces the central stem of each leaf in a vivid arc of deep red, while round old European-cut diamonds are scattered across the gold surface like dewdrops caught in morning light — the combination of warm gold, rich ruby, and soft diamond brilliance creating a composition of extraordinary natural beauty. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity dated October 2024, their provenance is fully documented.

A signed mid-century Van Cleef & Arpels piece by Péry et Fils of this age, condition, and documentation is a rare and historically significant acquisition for any serious collector.
