Man Ray’s Earrings (1890-1976). These 18-karat gold “Pendantif-Pendant” earrings are by Man Ray, one of Surrealism’s greatest voices.

The movement started in 1920 saw boundary-breaking artists like Ray work across disciplines and in collaboration with each other.

Most well known for his photography, Ray created jewelry with Italian company Gem Montebello in the 1960s, with each piece produced in an edition of 12, as is inscribed in this pair, circa 1968.

French actress Catherine Deneuve wore one of the editions in a Man Ray photoshoot in 1966.
