A glorious celebration of colour, craftsmanship, and unapologetic 1980s glamour.
Created by Frank Usher during the golden age of statement costume jewellery, these striking earrings showcase a rich cobalt-blue floral bloom framed within an ornate gilt setting. The design combines sculptural goldwork, delicate botanical detailing, and vivid enamel petals in a way that feels both theatrical and timeless.
 
The silhouette is particularly captivating. A richly textured golden frame encircles the flower, while engraved leaf motifs and scrolling details lend the piece an almost couture quality. The vivid blue enamel petals provide a dramatic contrast against the warm gold finish, creating a jewel that instantly draws the eye. They possess the same exuberant spirit and floral grandeur that made Oscar de la Renta's jewellery collections of the era so beloved among fashion editors, socialites, and collectors.
 
These are not delicate background earrings. They are conversation pieces. The sort of earrings that transform the simplest white shirt, elevate a black evening dress, or become the focal point of an entire look.

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.
