Gold and Ruby Apollo earrings
After 50 years since the initial creation, Ilias’ daughters, now at the helm of the Lalaounis company, are proposing a new release of the famous Jackie O. earrings. Today as yesterday, the top of the earrings, that also acts as buttoning, was inspired by the idea of an orbit. The spherical, entirely hand-hammered pendant boules emulated the moonscape, littered with craters with tiny rubies. In the new release, they are replaced by small sparkling diamonds but leave all the other ‘astronomical’ elements intact. The four identical motifs between the clip and the hanging globe are reminiscent of the command module of a spaceship.
