There is something wonderfully theatrical about these earrings. The sort of jewel one imagines worn at a summer soirée on the Amalfi Coast, a garden party at a country estate, or by one of the effortlessly glamorous women who populated the fashion pages of the 1980s.
 
Created by Frank Usher, these striking chandelier earrings capture the exuberance of the decade's costume jewellery at its finest. Rich emerald-green enamel flowers bloom against a luminous gold-tone setting, their sculptural petals framed by elegant circular forms and delicate scrolling foliage. Suspended beneath are three decorative drops that sway beautifully with movement, lending the design an unmistakable sense of drama and femininity.
 
The design bears all the hallmarks of the grand floral jewels that defined the era, recalling the bold botanical creations associated with Oscar de la Renta - jewellery intended not merely to accessorise an outfit but to become part of its story.
 
The vivid emerald enamel paired with warm gold creates a palette that feels both regal and fresh. Equally striking against crisp white linen, black silk, or a flowing floral dress, these are earrings destined to draw admiration wherever they are worn.

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.
