Vintage Sodalite Ear Clips, by Lalaounis

Ilias Lalaounis, the Greek jeweler behind the iconic Lalaounis brand, had a flair for transforming history into art. He founded the company in the 1960s, drawing inspiration from Greece’s ancient past, including influences from classical, Byzantine, and even prehistoric art. Lalaounis celebrated Greek culture in a modern form.

The brand’s aesthetic stands out with bold, intricate designs often featuring hammered gold, animal motifs, and geometric patterns that give an old-world feel. Lalaounis’ work quickly gained an international following, with clients ranging from celebrities to royalty (if you’re ever in Athens, there’s even a Lalaounis Jewelry Museum where you can see some of his most famous creations and get a sense of how this brand became a true symbol of Greek art and design!).

This pair of earrings is classic Lalaounis - with its rich yellow gold setting with a light hammered texture . Beyond chic, and the perfect collector's piece! Bonus: sodalite is said to be the gem to be worn for insight and intuition.
