From our #ChicEveryday Collection – vintage elegance for every day.
These statement earrings are a beautiful example of 1980s vintage design — ornate, expressive, and full of character. Crafted in gold-plated gilt metal, the design features a two-part drop structure that moves fluidly with the wearer.
The top element is a richly detailed floral cluster composed of alternating deep amethyst and brilliant white Swarovski crystals, prong-set into textured gold bezels. The contrast between the moody richness of the amethyst tones and the clarity of the white stones creates a timeless yet bold aesthetic.
Suspended from the top, the lower segment mimics a stylized, baroque-inspired motif — resembling an openwork tulip or fleur-de-lis — adorned again with a symmetrical arrangement of Swarovski crystals in the same jewel tones. Delicate etched textures run through the gold surface, enhancing the sculptural quality of the metal and catching light at every angle.
The earrings are clip-on, with a comfortable and sturdy backing, making them suitable even for non-pierced ears. Despite their statement-making size, they are lightweight enough for all-day wear.
The overall look evokes the ornate opulence of antique jewelry, reimagined through the lens of 1980s maximalism.
The movement in the design, along with the light-catching crystals, gives the earrings a dynamic and elegant presence — perfect for transitioning from day to night.

About the Collection: This necklace belongs to a Renaissance Revival rediscovery collection sourced exclusively from an acclaimed UK costume jewelry maker. Shuttered in the late 1980s, the manufacturer's archives remained untouched for decades until recently, preserving a treasure trove of unworn, beautifully made pieces.
