Vintage 18ct Gold Diamond-Tested & Cultured Pearl Drop Earrings c.1970s–1980s
An elegant pair of vintage 18 carat gold diamond-tested and cultured pearl drop earrings dating from approximately the late 1970s to early 1980s.

Crafted in 18 carat gold with secure butterfly backs stamped AU750, they are equally suited to everyday elegance or special occasions. These earrings come from my own family collection and belonged to my mother. I clearly remember her wearing them when I was a child, placing them firmly in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been carefully preserved ever since and are now ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.
