The body fans outward from a narrow furled stem into a broad fluted blade, the surface worked in deep parallel ribs that radiate and twist toward a scalloped lower edge, giving the leaf its characteristic pleated movement. The metal carries the signature Zolotas hand-hammered satin finish, a softly granular matte texture that scatters light rather than mirroring it, broken only where the ridge tops catch a brighter polish. The high gold content reads in the warm, saturated color and the slightly soft, sculptural feel of the chased detail.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStamped: Zolotas, 22k, A24\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFounded in Athens in 1895, Zolotas is Greece's preeminent jewelry house, built on the revival of ancient goldsmithing techniques — hand-hammering, granulation, and filigree — applied to designs drawn from the Mycenaean, classical, and Byzantine archaeological record. The house rose to international prominence in the 1960s, with the Kennedys, Maria Callas, and Elizabeth Taylor among its clientele. Production is centered on high-karat gold work in 18kt and 22kt, with an aesthetic identity rooted firmly in classical Hellenic form.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zolotas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50158346436847,"sku":"301404","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/9195\/2111\/files\/1404_1_3547818.jpg?v=1783718833","url":"https:\/\/greenwichbazzar.com\/products\/vintage-1980s-22k-zolotas-yellow-gold-greek-ginkgo-leaf-clip-earrings","provider":"Greenwich Bazzar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
