Description

This vintage 1970s earring is an orphaned piece, ideal for replacing a lost pendant or for an original creation. The jewelry features an openwork triangular structure, with a silver metallic finish, adorned with a central filigree motif. The upper mounting is extended by a post system for pierced ears, with a smooth and shiny dome.

The lower part of the earring is distinguished by a set of mobile tassels composed of spherical beads. These beads alternate between two shades of blue: a deep blue and a translucent frosted blue, associated with silver metallic beads. The elements are connected by small round link chains, creating a cascading and movement effect characteristic of 1970s costume jewelry.

The ensemble offers an aesthetic that is both retro and elegant, typical of the era, with a bohemian influence and openwork metalwork, very popular in costume jewelry of that decade. The tassels and beads evoke a hippie chic or gipsy style, appreciated for its artisanal and original appearance.

The metallic surface shows a light patina, consistent with the age of the item, and the beads show a satin or slightly frosted appearance for the light blue ones, while the darker ones are more opaque. No logo or brand is visible on the shown face.

This piece of jewelry is presented as a unique item, sold individually (orphaned), which gives it a particular interest for lovers of mismatched creations or for giving a second life to incomplete jewelry.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Patina and micro-wear visible on the metallic surface and the beads, with no major apparent defects on the visible side. The ensemble remains harmonious and ready to wear or repurpose.

Did you know? In the 1970s, costume jewelry fashion was heavily inspired by the hippie and bohemian movements. Openwork geometric shapes and the use of colored beads were very common in artisan and industrial creations, allowing for great freedom of styles and unexpected combinations.
