Vintage Cloisonné Enamel Rose Triangle Dangle Earrings, Gold-Tone Open Frame

A full-blown rose in coral, blush, and violet opens within a rounded triangle frame, its leaves in shades of teal and forest green, like a garden glimpsed through a window at dusk. These 1980s cloisonné earrings outline each petal in fine gold-tone wire and set it all against a deep black enamel border. The open cutwork lets light pass through the design, keeping them airy and light on the ear. Their painterly color makes them easy to pair with both neutrals and prints.
