Description from the seller

I’m selling part of my wife’s vintage earring collection, almost all of them never worn.
A lot of 60 pairs from the 80s/90s, warehouse find, Pop, Memphis and Street style.
Wonderful and lively stock from the era, composed of 30 pairs of original vintage earrings dating from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. An extraordinary collection that fully represents the aesthetics of that era: from geometric and Space Age designs to the burst of fluorescent colors, and the influence of street rave culture (with the Smiley icons) and Memphis style.
Many pieces. They are still preserved on their original display cards from the era.
Materials: printed plastic, resin, metal details and rhinestones.
Key pieces: Large hoops (see photo with ruler), acid-green Smiley-face earrings, multicolor hoops, couture-design gold/black button earrings and various polka dot models.
Closures: mixed clip-on and stud.
Condition (to read carefully):
The lot has been cataloged as in "very good condition" since these are new-old-stock warehouse items, never worn or worn only rarely, and not sold at retail. The front plastic is glossy, colors are vivid, and structures are intact. However, as these are original items stored for over 35-40 years, the following, inevitable signs of time are present:
Oxidation: on the back of some pieces, metal components, clips, posts or posts or ear nuts show partial oxidation due to age and humidity from storage over the decades.
Cardboards, displays: Some original cardboard supports are yellowed or show creases and small tears due to the years.
Please carefully examine the photo gallery, including the ruler images for measurements and the back details, before placing a bid.
