Symbolism: The griffin is a mythological creature with the head of a bird, usually an eagle, and the body of a lion. The griffin traditionally symbolizes courage, strength, and valor.

The Damask Clip Earrings feature oval cabochons with a lovely jacquard pattern in dark brown and cream. Hanging from these elaborate cabochons are a facing pair of griffins in black brass. The griffins have shell backs (so they are one-sided); they are a matching pair, with one facing left, and the other facing right. Please note that although the material is described as “black brass,” the griffins are generally a variable dark brown color.

Approximate length (top to bottom): 2-3/4 inches

Approximate width: 1-1/4 inches (beak to wing)

Cabochon dimensions: 18 X 13mm (3/4 inch X jus over 1/2 inch)

Clips: Bronze-plated brass

All of our clip earrings are made with comfort and style in mind. To minimize discomfort, our clip earrings are constructed with a large focal (usually a gemstone cabochon, intaglio, or cameo) at the front of a clip with a large round pad (at least 13mm in diameter). This construction allows for pressure to be distributed to a wider area of the earlobe, eliminating the “pressure point” discomfort that can often come with screwbacks and smaller clips.
