Vintage Gold Tone Statement Drop Earrings with Clear Crystal, Sculptural Door Knocker Earrings

Description
Sculpted folds of gold fall like draped silk around a teardrop center, where a pear-cut crystal and two slim baguettes catch the light like a drop of rain. These are from the 1980s and carry the bold, architectural feel of that decade’s statement jewelry. A fan-shaped top connects to a ribbed link, and the textured panel is edged with a fine beaded border. They make a confident evening piece that still looks graceful against the face.
