AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am selling part of my wife’s vintage earring collection, almost all of them never worn. Lot of 65 pairs from the 1980s/1990s, warehouse find, Pop, Memphis and Street style.
Splendid and vibrant vintage stock, consisting of 30 pairs of original vintage earrings dating from the late ’80s to the early ’90s. An extraordinary collection that fully embodies the aesthetics of that era: from geometric and Space Age designs to the explosion of fluorescent colors, up to the influence of street raver culture (with the Smiley face icons) and Memphis style.
Many pieces. They are still preserved on their original display cards from the period.
Materials: printed plastic, resin, metal details and rhinestones.
Key pieces: Large hoops (see photo with ruler), acid green Smiley face earrings, multicolor hoops, gold/black button earrings with couture design and various polka dot models.
Mixed closures: clip-on and post.
Condition (to be read carefully):
The lot has been cataloged as “very good condition” because these are items from warehouse stock (New Old Stock), never worn or worn only very little, and not sold at retail. The plastic on the front is shiny, colors are vivid and the structures are intact. However, as they are original items stored for over 35–40 years, the following inevitable signs of aging are present:
Oxidation: on the back of some pieces, metal components, clips, posts or stud earrings show partial oxidation due to age and humidity of storage over the decades.
Cardboards, displays: Some original cardboard supports are yellowed, or have creases and small tears due to the years.
Please examine carefully the photo gallery, including the ruler photos for measurements and the details on the back, before placing a bid.
