Monkey Chain 18K Gold and Silver Diamond Earrings

Jewelry designer Bibi van der Velden describes her pieces as “miniature sculptures.” Launched in 2006, the Dutch brand uses the natural world as inspiration for beautifully unexpected creations.

Crafted in 18k rose gold and sterling silver, these drop earrings are designed as two lemon quartz bananas on which two monkeys are set forming the posts. A fringe of 18k rose gold chains hangs from each to graze the neck with tiny gold bananas embellishing the ends.
