A stylish pair of gold earrings by Ilias Lalaounis c.1970s, the earrings belong to the collection called ‘From Luristan to Persepolis’ and according to Lalaounis this design was “inspired by a necklace worn by the soldiers of Darius I as shown in a relief at Persepolis.” It forms part of a suite that includes a bracelet, necklace and ring. These earrings are made in 18ct yellow gold and are formed of three interlocking uniform arrow shaped motifs which have a raised pointed profile, the hammered texture to the metal creates a lovely soft tactile finish, the back have clip fittings making them suitable for pierced and non-pierced ears.
