Description

The sleeper earrings have 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 sleeper earring is inspired by the ancient representation of dolphins: to the ancient Greeks and Romans sailors, dolphins were a symbol of divine protection and guidance.
