A delightful celebration of romance and whimsy, these charming 1980s deadstock earrings feature a finely sculpted cherub resting gracefully within an open heart frame. Lightweight, beautifully balanced, and wonderfully easy to wear, they are the sort of earrings that effortlessly become part of your everyday jewellery wardrobe.
Discovered in a long-closed London accessories warehouse, these earrings remained untouched for decades before being uncovered. As true deadstock, they were never sold, never worn, and never previously owned, preserving them in pristine vintage condition exactly as they left the manufacturer in the 1980s.
 
Their playful yet elegant design captures the unmistakable charm of the era, making them equally suited to casual daytime dressing or as a thoughtful finishing touch to a romantic evening look.
 
Design Description
Crafted in a warm, radiant gold tone, each earring showcases a textured open-heart silhouette cradling a beautifully sculpted cherub seated along the lower curve of the heart. The tiny winged figure reaches forward with an outstretched arm, creating a sense of movement and storytelling within the design.
 
Suspended from classic shepherd's hook fittings, the earrings sway gently with every step, lending them a soft, feminine movement. Their openwork construction keeps them exceptionally lightweight and comfortable, making them ideal for prolonged wear without compromising on visual impact.
Sweet without being overly ornate, these earrings perfectly capture the playful romanticism that made novelty jewellery of the 1980s so collectible today.

Provenance
These earrings come from a remarkable discovery - deadstock from a historic London jewellery warehouse that closed its doors in the late 1980s. Decades later, the warehouse was rediscovered and reopened, revealing untouched vintage inventory preserved exactly as it was when the business ceased operations.
Today, this archive supplies rare pieces to film and production houses such as Bridgerton, Joan, and other major costume productions, alongside a select circle of vintage dealers.
To encounter such pieces in unworn condition after more than four decades is exceptionally rare.
