1980s Red Beaded Earrings with Cabochon Detail [on handmade 1920s card]
1980s Red Beaded Earrings with Cabochon Detail [on handmade 1920s card]
A characterful pair of NOS 1980s earrings, crafted in a warm red palette with textured seed bead spheres and tiny faux cabochons set into the surface. Their sculptural shape and tactile finish give a sense of folk jewellery or stage costume drama, unapologetically bold with a touch of playful history.
Presented here on a handmade display card created from an original 1920s film magazine page, this pairing blends eras beautifully. Each card in this series is one-of-a-kind, chosen to echo the mood and style of the earrings themselves.
These earrings were never worn, sourced from old stock and revived as part of a desire to honour what already exists. Restoring vintage pieces and giving them presence again is at the heart of this collection.
