Condition Notes: Strikingly sculptural and distinctly modern, these Bernard K. Passman earrings showcase the designer’s signature use of black coral contrasted with high-quality diamonds, all framed in gleaming 18k gold. Each earring is vertically hand-inscribed "BKP" and stamped 18k, affirming gold purity, and is fitted with both posts and omega clips for secure, comfortable wear. A row of five bright diamonds adds a sleek channel of brilliance between the gracefully tapering panels of hand-carved black coral. Minor signs of prior wear are present, yet the pair remains in very good overall condition. Housed in their original Bernard K. Passman clamshell box, now showing interior deterioration, these earrings offer a timeless fusion of natural materials and minimalist elegance that reflects the celebrated Caribbean designer’s refined artistic vision.
