In the 1980s, d’Orlan worked frequently with blocks of colour, braided structures and geometric shapes. These earrings reflect that style perfectly: rich in colour, balanced in form and designed to be worn both during the day and in the evening.

Caring for vintage jewelry
Vintage jewelry lasts longest when kept dry and stored separately. Put it on last and take it off first: perfume, hairspray and skin cream all attack the plating.
Polish only with a soft, dry cloth. No water, no soap and no silver polish — that strips the layer off.
