Description

This pair of vintage costume earrings is signed Flash Mode Paris, the brand visible on the original card shown in the photo. Each earring has a round, domed shape, covered with a pattern evoking the appearance of snakeskin, in shades of grey and black on a light background. The textured effect, both matte and slightly shiny depending on the light, recalls the typical retro creations of Parisian costume jewellery from the 70s-80s, without a specific decade being explicitly indicated.

The original cardboard backing, marked "Flash Mode" in red and "PARIS" in capitals, attests to the authenticity and style of the brand, specializing in fashion accessories from the capital. The earrings are presented in a burgundy velvet case, which highlights their graphic and vintage allure.

The snake pattern, with regular scales, covers the entire visible front of each earring. No other decoration, stone, or additional embellishment is visible on the exposed part. The surface appears smooth, with no apparent scratches or chips in the provided photo.

The shape is circular, solid, with a pronounced curve that adds volume to the piece. The fastening system is not visible in this photo, but the presentation on a card suggests clip-on earrings, common for this type of vintage accessory.

The neutral palette (black, grey, off-white) makes these earrings easy to pair with various clothing styles, from retro chic to a contemporary look. No major flaws are visible on the front, apart from a slight irregularity on the presentation card (crease and wear on the top).

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible front of the earrings shows no noticeable defects. The original card shows signs of wear (crease, crumpled corners) with no impact on the earrings themselves.
