Description

The sleeper earrings has a fascinating history dating back to the 18th century. Originally designed to be worn during sleep, these earrings were typically made of gold, silver or precious metals and adorned with gemstones, pearls, or diamonds. They were elegantly crafted to be lightweight and comfortable.

The Delphis dormeuse is inspired by the ancient representation of dolphins: to the ancient Greeks and Romans sailors, dolphins were a symbol of divine protection and guidance. The Delphis dormeuse is part of the Gyptis & Protis collection, which pays tribute to the founding myth of the city of Marseille.
