The story: In the nineteenth century, most women owned a small pair of earrings called sleepers, because they could be worn in bed without the risk of them coming off during the night. These discreet and practical pieces of jewelry were often adorned with pearls or small precious stones, adding a touch of elegance even in intimacy. Their ingenious design, with a secure clasp, made them ideal companions for everyday use, combining comfort and refinement.
