Vintage 70s Mother-of-pearl pendant brown beaded bohemian earrings

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 70s bohemian earring stands out with its singular design and visually remarkable materials. The top of the piece consists of a large flat disc with an iridescent appearance evoking abalone mother-of-pearl, displaying a nuanced palette of greens, blues, and metallic reflections. This disc catches the light and highlights the organic surface structure, typical of vintage creations from that era.

Below the main disc, the earring features an elaborate composition of dark brown tubular and round beads, connected to form flexible dangling elements. Each dangle ends with a triangular motif composed of translucent cylindrical beads and round beads, offering a play of geometric shapes and contrasting textures. The overall design recalls the artisanal and ethnic trends popular in 70s costume jewelry.

The fastening is a silver-finished metal hook, typical of dangling earrings from this period. The assembly reveals meticulous handiwork in the arrangement of the beads and the symmetrical placement of the dangles.

The visible side shows no identifiable marks or signatures. The surface of the mother-of-pearl part displays slight natural irregularities, characteristic of this type of material. The beads appear well-preserved, with no visible chips in the photo.

The color palette combines the deep brown of the beads, the iridescent reflections of the main pendant, and the discreet transparency of the tubular elements, for a look that is both retro and elegant. This piece of jewelry is perfectly suited for a bohemian or hippie chic style, highly sought after on eBay.
