She has a warmth about her that draws people in—an ease, a glow, a quiet confidence that doesn’t rush to explain itself.
These earrings feel as though they were made for a woman who loves colour with intention. Someone who understands that elegance need not be restrained, that joy can be refined. In the 1980s, she might have worn these to a sunlit brunch on the Riviera, or an art opening where conversations drifted easily between travel, music, and memory. Her laughter is generous, her style unmistakable.
At the centre of each earring rests a softly domed pearl, luminous and calm, anchoring the composition. Around it, sculpted golden petals radiate outward like a sunburst—layered with mandarin-orange enamel and punctuated by deep cobalt blue beads. The palette is unexpected yet perfectly balanced: warm gold, spirited orange, and Mediterranean blue, all coming together in a floral form that feels alive.
Measuring a bold yet wearable 4 cm x 4 cm, these clip-on earrings are a celebration of the late 1980s love for expressive, artisanal jewellery—pieces that were playful, sculptural, and unmistakably feminine. They sit comfortably on the ear, designed to make an impression without overpowering.
There is a gentle patina present, where the mandarin enamel has softly receded on a few petals, revealing hints of gold beneath. It does not read as wear or age—instead, it feels like a painter’s brushstroke left intentionally imperfect. A reminder that true beauty often lies in character, not uniformity. Each subtle variation adds depth, making the pair feel organic, almost one of a kind.
Styling notes
Let them shine against a crisp ivory blouse, linen dress, or silk sari in neutral tones.
Perfect with warm-weather looks—cotton sarees, breezy kaftans, or a simple summer dress.
Best worn with hair swept back or loosely tied, allowing the floral silhouette to frame the face.
Skip the necklace; these earrings are a statement all on their own.
