Inspired by the shape and ancient health benefits of the common freshwater leech, these Prounis earrings are also a stunning, sophisticated alternative to traditional hoops. The open loops of 22K recycled yellow gold have a bold and substantial heft with a ridged center. They fasten with straight safety bars. This particular shape is also believed to bring good health to the wearer.

Prounis

New York - Jean Prounis founded her eponymous jewelry collection in homage to her ancestry. Her great-grandfather was the co-proprietor of the Versailles, a nightclub in the 1940's Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. Inspired by the resplendent finery of the time, her hand-wrought jewelry is created from recycled 22K gold and responsibly sourced precious and semi-precious gems.
