Vintage Avon Red Apple Drop Earrings

Description:
Glossy red apples in swirled lucite hang from polished gold-tone ball posts, each topped with a pair of veined gold leaves. These match Avon’s “Apple A Day” fruit jewelry of the early 1990s. The finish shifts from deep cherry to soft rose as it catches the light. They’re playful but not precious, light enough for all-day wear, and they swing gently below the lobe.

Gold-tone metal, lucite
