Additional Information
Edgar Berebi is best known for his opulent, enameled jewelry and collectibles, but his earlier work in the 1980s embraced more abstract and sculptural forms. These earrings depart from his later rococo-inspired excess and instead reflect a Postmodern sensibility—heavy, symbolic, and minimal in color but not in presence. The engraved motif on the dangle element resembles abstract circuitry or stylized tribal marks, aligning with a broader design trend in the 1980s where global influence met emerging tech aesthetics. While Berebi’s name is more often linked to collectible objets d’art and baroque detailing, his jewelry during this period reveals a calculated exploration of shape and surface—part sculpture, part wearable statement.
