Giorgio Armani Vintage Earrings – Baroque Shield & Amber Cabochon
Description
Beautiful and rare Giorgio Armani vintage earrings, executed in gilt metal with a warm amber-coloured cabochon and richly detailed baroque shield drops. These earrings breathe the understated luxury Armani was known for in the late 1980s and early 1990s: sculptural, artistic and always elegant without excess.
The top consists of a glossy amber-coloured dome, softly rounded and slightly translucent, which contrasts beautifully with the antique-gold shield. The shield-shaped drops are deeply relief-engraved with a mythological scene — a characteristic Armani motif referencing classical art and Renaissance influences.

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.
