A drawer full of good decisions. This lot brings together 15+ pairs of vintage and vintage-style earrings spanning several decades of jewelry making — the kind of collection that accumulates when someone actually wore jewelry and wore it well.


The gold tone pieces dominate: wide ribbed half-hoop statement earrings, chunky triple-ring hoops, simple florentine-finish hoops in graduated sizes, a two-tone gold and silver omega-style pair, a mismatched-scale set of flat cuff hoops, dangling textured ball drops, and a pair of large teardrop hoops with a two-tone ribbed finish. Silver tones are represented too — small plain huggie hoops, a twisted wire pair, and a sculptural leaf/abstract pair. Rounding it out: purple enamel and gold mini hoops, pearl and rhinestone drop studs, tiny amethyst-colored stone studs, and clear CZ-style square studs.


The standouts of the lot are a pair of iridescent blue marquise rhinestone cluster earrings — aurora borealis stones set in a sweeping leaf design, absolutely gorgeous — noted as missing their a couple stones and sold as-is for repair or display.



Conditions vary across the lot; most are wearable. The rhinestone clips are noted damaged.
