1980s Frank Usher Triple Gold-Plated Statement Earrings
There is something wonderfully sunlit about these earrings. Rich gold, sweeping circular forms and intricate geometric decoration: a little of the exuberance of the 1980s, ready to make an ordinary afternoon feel rather splendid.
 
By Frank Usher, this striking pair features open circular drops suspended beneath polished curved tops. Across the gold surface, patterned triangles, delicate raised beads and contrasting textures catch the light beautifully. Measuring approximately 5 × 5 cm each, they have presence, movement and detail worth admiring up close.
 
Finished in triple gold plating, these are original 1980s deadstock earrings, never pre-owned and preserved in beautiful, as-new condition. Vintage, with their first chapter still ahead of them.
 
From London warehouse
Sourced from the same specialist London warehouse as our other Frank Usher discoveries, this pair comes from a treasure trove of vintage pieces that also supplies film and television wardrobe departments, including productions such as Bridgerton, Joan and Wuthering Heights. A lovely connection to the world of costume and storytelling - and now, an invitation to create a little of your own.
 
Wear them through the day
Picture a crisp white shirt, sleeves casually rolled, dark denim and these golden circles beneath loosely gathered hair. Perfect for a coffee meeting that becomes lunch, a gallery afternoon or a leisurely weekend wandering through town.
With an ivory knit and tailored trousers, they bring warmth and character to a simple silhouette. On holiday, wear them with linen, a sun-kissed palette and very little else in the way of jewellery.
 
Let them glow after dark
For evening, imagine black silk, a bare neckline and hair swept away from the face. Candlelight finds every textured detail; the gold does the rest.
They are equally beautiful with an emerald dress, a chocolate satin blouse or an ivory sari. Wear them to dinner, a wedding celebration, the theatre or a festive gathering - any occasion that deserves a little ceremony. Let the earrings lead, with perhaps a single gold ring to accompany them.
