Pair of 24-karat earrings in the form of a bunch of grapes made up of 5 granulated spheres, the last one separated by a horizontal ring, and surmounted by a crescent ornamented with a very beautiful garnet cabochon. This jewel is absolutely wearable.

The spherical ornamentation of these earrings and their granulation recalls a pomegranate. Attribute of the Roman goddesses of love (Venus) and marriage (Juno), this fruit is the symbol of fertility and prosperity, and also rebirth.
