Joan Miró black and gold drop earrings

Ardent admirers of the abstract paintings of Joan Miró may recognise the distinctive shapes of these captivating black and gold drop earrings. Made in Spain by Joidart, they’re inspired by Miró’s Chiffres et constellations amoureux d'une femme, 1941.

Plated with 24 carat gold and decorated with high quality black cold enamel, the earrings are simple enough for daily wear, yet striking enough to finish off an evening look with a drop length of 3.5 cm. The gold extends to the ear posts, and the studs are fastened with secure, butterfly backings for a close fit.

Your jewellery arrives specially packaged in a keepsake box, with a card explaining more about the artwork that inspired the earrings.

About the artist

One of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century, Joan Miró’s engaging and richly coloured works are underpinned by a profound concern for humanity and the importance of liberty. Born in Barcelona in 1893, he moved to Paris in 1920 where he became an influential figure in the surrealist movement. However, his identity as a Catalan remained central to his work throughout his life. He responded to the turbulent times he lived through – escaping wartime France and living under the Franco regime in Spain – by developing a deeply personal language of signs and symbols that he used throughout his long career.
