Cherub Earrings | Raphael Sistine Madonna Art Detail | Obljewellery

A pair of asymmetric art earrings inspired by the iconic cherubim detail from The Sistine Madonna by Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio) — one of the most recognisable images in the history of Western art, painted in 1512 and now housed at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. The design captures the dreamy, upward gaze of the two angels resting below the Madonna, translating a fragment of Renaissance devotion into a wearable object for everyday life.

Entirely handmade in our studio in Granada, Spain, from sustainable wood sourced from FSC-certified suppliers. Please note that while the raw material comes from FSC-certified sources, the finished piece is not itself an FSC-certified product. With 925 sterling silver hooks and a weight of just 6 grams, these earrings are exceptionally lightweight — designed to be worn all day without discomfort.

Dimensions: each earring is approximately 4 cm x 3.5 cm. Because every piece is crafted by hand, no two pairs are exactly identical. The asymmetric format adds a contemporary, editorial quality to a deeply historical reference — a perfect museum-inspired gift for those drawn to Renaissance art, Italian painting, and the history of devotional imagery.

Every order arrives in plastic-free, eco-friendly packaging personally designed in our studio, including a brief history of the artwork.
