These earrings add a touch of whimsy to anything. Made by famed Parisian jeweler Jacky de G in the 1980s, they feature a heart-shaped sun motif— the brushed gold border looks like sun rays. The heart-shaped center is set with pearls and stones; the black resin they are set in really allows the jewels to pop and sparkle to their full potential. Statement earrings defined the style of the 1980s; French couture houses used costume jewelry to tell their story. The best jewelers worked for the big houses like J
ean-Paul Gaultier, Guy Laroche, Givenchy, Dior, Chanel, Christian Lacroix and among them was the jeweler known as Jacky de G. She produced jewelry for her own label (which is signed as such) as well as for these houses, so her designs and sensibility have an immeasurable influence. Her jewelry was only produced for a short period, which makes it highly sought-after and collectable. These earrings are signed Jacky de G / Made in France. Measures about 4 cm long, and finished with a clip-on back. The other vintage earrings pictured are also available in my shop.
Great vintage condition; there is one spot on one of the earrings where the outer gold textured part has slightly chipped, but it feels like part of the design when worn/is something that you wouldn't notice unless looking because it blends in with the metal's texture. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email shop@verybreezy.com for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.
