One of a kind — the only available piece
1980s · c. 1982–1988 — hallmarks of mid-to-late 1980s power dressing: oversized silhouette, cascading chain fringe, mixed-finish hardware, and faux pearl embellishment · Silver Tone · Faux Pearl · Mixed Metal · Mesh · Articulated · 2.50"
"These unsigned 1980s statement clip-on earrings capture the high-drama aesthetic of the era with their bold, kinetic design. Each earring features a crown of clustered faux pearls anchored by a dense, fluid waterfall of silver-tone chain fringe. Measuring 2.5 inches in length, they offer significant visual impact and movement. The reverse is finished with brass-tone clip-on hardware, which exhibits natural vintage patina consistent with age. The chain fringe remains intact, and the faux pearls maintain a lustrous, cream-toned finish. These earrings are a quintessential example of 1980s power accessorizing, ideal for collectors of vintage costume jewelry. All vintage items are final sale. Please review all provided images and measurements thoroughly before purchasing."

Condition
Overall good vintage condition. The cascading chain fringe is intact on both earrings with no missing links observed in photos. Faux pearl cabochons along the crown appear cream and lustrous with no visible loss. The reverse hardware shows expected oxidation and patina on the brass-tone clip mechanism — consistent with age and wear. Some minor chain tangling visible; easily resolved. No breaks or losses confirmed.
