Vintage Les Bernard Gold Etruscan Statement Earrings

About the Item

These vintage gold statement earrings were made by Les Bernard in the 1980s. The etching and sculptural details are a marriage of Etruscan and Pre-Columbian jewelry styles. I love that each individual drop and charm connects on its own ring, allowing these earrings to assume a graceful movement. Les Bernard was found in 1963, and is considered a pioneer in the field of high quality costume jewelry, creating designs that went on to influence the runway jewelry at houses like Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy. Despite their size, these earrings are lightweight and comfortable— they really feel weightless on the ear, while having a very secure closure. (This is the case with most vintage clip-ons compared to modern jewelry, because of the quality that went into their hand-made construction.) These earrings are signed LES BERNARD, and are finished with a clip-on lever back. They measure 8.5 cm long x just shy of 3 cm at widest point. Great vintage condition, with general wear commensurate with age, and they present beautifully when worn. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals
