AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am selling part of my wife’s vintage earring collection, almost all unused.
Lot of 60 pairs from the 80s/90s, warehouse clearance, Pop, Memphis and Street style.
Splendid and vibrant vintage stock, consisting of 60 pairs of original vintage earrings dating to the late 1980s and early 1990s. An extraordinary collection that fully represents the aesthetics of that era: from geometric and “Space Age” design to the explosion of fluorescent colors, up to the influence of street rave culture (with the iconic Smiley faces) and Memphis style.
Many pieces. They are still kept on their original display cards from the era.
Materials: printed plastic, resin, metal details and rhinestones.
Key pieces: Large hoops (see photo with ruler), lime-green Smiley face earrings, multicolor hoops, gold/black couture-style button earrings and various polka-dotted models.
Closures: mixed clips and posts.
Condition. (To be read carefully.): The lot has been cataloged as “very good condition” as these are brand-new warehouse items (New Old Stock), never worn or worn only very rarely, not sold retail. The plastic on the front is glossy, the colors are vivid and the structures are intact. However, being original items preserved for over 35–40 years, there are the following inevitable signs of age:
Oxidation: on the back of some pieces, the metal components, clips, posts or ear hooks show partial oxidation due to age and humidity from storage over decades.
Cardboard, display cards: Some original cardboard supports are yellowed, or show creases and small tears due to the years.
Please carefully examine the photo gallery, including the photos with a ruler for measurements, and the details on the back before placing a bid.
