Vintage Mid-Century Church & Co 14K White Gold Sapphire & Pearl Snowflake Earrings

This exquisite pair of vintage mid-century earrings is crafted in a distinctive snowflake or starburst design. Fashioned from 14K white gold, the earrings feature a central cultured pearl, surrounded by radiating 'spokes' that terminate in smaller pearls, creating a dimensional and intricate pattern. Interspersed among these pearl-tipped spokes are bezel-set, round-cut blue sapphires, typically three per earring, adding a vibrant contrast to the creamy white pearls and the silvery tone of the white gold. The overall form suggests a sophisticated, atomic-era aesthetic, typical of mid-century jewelry. Each earring appears to be approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, based on the visual scale. The pearls exhibit a good luster, indicative of quality, and the sapphires, while small, offer noticeable color. The construction appears robust, with secure settings for all gemstones and pearls. Visible condition is excellent; no obvious signs of damage, missing stones, or significant wear are apparent from the image. The white gold setting appears clean and polished, suggesting careful maintenance. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image, but the accompanying text attributes them to 'Church & Co', a known jeweler, and specifies the material as '14K White Gold', adding to their provenance and value. The design is unique and highly collectible, particularly for those interested in mid-century fine jewelry.
