From Our “Everyday Chic” Affordable 1980s Collection – effortless vintage glamour for daily wear.
 
A striking example of 1980s costume jewellery craftsmanship, this pair of drop earrings is a true vintage treasure. Featuring bold red Gripoix-style poured glass cabochons, high-gloss black enamel accents, and luminous imitation pearls, the design captures the era’s flair for regal drama and luxe statement pieces.
 
Gripoix, a technique pioneered in the 19th century by Parisian artisan Augustine Gripoix, involves pouring molten glass into moulds by hand—resulting in rich, jewel-toned stones that mimic the glow of real gemstones. It became a signature material used by major French fashion houses, beloved for its luminous depth and artisanal charm.
 
The earrings cascade elegantly with a geometric balance of color and form—crowned with fiery red glass stones and trimmed in black and gold-tone enamel detailing that gives way to domed faux pearl drops. The result is sophisticated yet playful, perfect for collectors or anyone looking to wear a piece of vintage fashion history.
 
A rare find in immaculate, never-worn condition—made even more special by its original 1980s box. A perfect gift or heirloom-worthy keepsake.
