Kazuko Oshima 14K Gold & Turquoise Earrings

Characteristic of Kazuko Oshima’s lavish designs, these semiprecious stones are wrapped in webs of gold wire and seem to float above the body as they hang from the ear. These earrings feature turquoise stones veined with limonite. Ms. Oshima believed passionately that the materials that she worked with possessed great healing powers. Earrings are 2 inches in length. Gifted to art dealer Holly Solomon from Kazuko in the 1980's. Holly was a long time friend and supporter of Kazuko.
