Rare Dior 80s Gold Braided Black Glass Clip-On Earrings

These 80s Dior earrings center around black glass stones, encircled by a dimensional, golden rope or braided motif. This combination of a central stone accented by a rope-like border has been an iconic design element since the Art Deco era. The rope motif typically serves to enhance symmetry and ornamentation, creating a luxurious and fashionable effect when paired with a central stone or pearl. This design continued to be cherished through the 50s and 60s, frequently appearing in pieces by high-end brands like Chanel and Van Cleef & Arpels. In this pair of pre-owned 80s-90s Dior clip-on earrings, the black central stones offer a sense of mysterious subtlety. The airy, three-dimensional golden braided border balances the depth of the black, adding a luminous touch. The interplay between these elements imbues the classic design with a touch of rebellious spirit, resulting in a piece that is not only elegant but also possesses a distinct character. Based on their design and clip mechanism, these are identified as pieces from the 80s-90s. Their circulation in the second-hand market is diminishing, with similar items listed on Vestiaire Collective for nearly 8000 yuan. Anyone with an appreciation for high-fashion design recognizes the esteemed position of Christian Dior in the world of fashion, a status built upon the brand's rich history and influence on trends. Dior was also one of the first haute couture houses to venture into jewelry design, making their costume jewelry exceptionally collectible. These Dior earrings were acquired in the UK and are pre-owned. They exhibit minor signs of wear, with no color fading. There are very small green patina spots on the metal on the reverse side of the earrings, but their overall condition is considered excellent. The clean, geometric lines are grand and timeless, representing an aesthetic design that has truly stood the test of time. . Dimensions: 3 × 3 × 1 cm each . Materials: Gold-tone metal, black glass .
