Fine Gold & Diamond Clip Earrings by Jose Hess, 1980's


A bold and elegant pair of Diamond Clip Earrings by Jose Hess, each designed as a softly rounded square panel pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds and highlighted by polished yellow gold crossover detailing.

Jose Hess was an American jewellery designer renowned for his bold designs and exceptional diamond jewellery. Establishing his New York atelier in the 1940s, Hess developed a reputation for creating sophisticated, highly wearable pieces distinguished by fluid forms, rich gold work and meticulous craftsmanship.Particularly celebrated during the 1960s–1980s, his jewellery often featured dramatic pavé diamond settings, textured gold surfaces and elegant clip earrings, bracelets and brooches that reflected the glamour of mid-century and late twentieth-century American design.
