Vintage baroque pearl bead earrings by My Vintage Obsession

Description

I made these earrings with vintage baroque pearl beads in a lovely champagne colour and vintage rhinestone rondelles both sourced from old warehouse stock. They are very much in the baroque (dimpled) style favoured by Miriam Haskell, and have a beautiful lustre (you can see my reflection in the photos). I removed the original head pins due to corrosion and added the rhinestone rondelles to create an elegant and timeless look.

These earrings are:

• ethically and sustainably made
• limited edition
• made with vintage baroque style pearl beads made in Japan probably late 1940s-50s and Czechoslovakian rhinestone rondelles circa 1970s-80s
• 5 cm in length
• Suspended on 14 carat gold filled hooks

These earrings have been made in my Melbourne workshop with vintage materials which hold some evidence of their former life in a deepened patina and minor wear; I think that is what gives them so much charm.
