Oscar De La Renta Luxury Gold Jade Tortoise Designer Drop Earrings Vintage
Located in Santa Monica, CA
Oscar de la Renta gold jade tortoise drop earrings featuring hand-carved turtle motifs in antique gold frames. Authentic designer fashion jewelry, made in USA.
Oscar de la Renta luxury designer jewelry demonstrates the house's mastery of nature-inspired artistry through these coveted jade tortoise drop earrings. Each Oscar de la Renta piece commands attention with vivid jade green resin cabochons hosting intricately carved golden tortoise figures—a testament to the brand's dedication to luxury animal motif jewelry.
The designer fashion jewelry construction reveals Oscar de la Renta's commitment to superior craftsmanship. Antique gold plating creates depth through precisely executed rope-twist borders that frame the jade tortoise motifs with museum-quality detail. These vintage designer earrings possess the weight and presence collectors seek—measuring 1.5 inches by 1 inch at 16 grams per earring.
Contemporary designer earrings rarely achieve this level of dimensional artistry. The tortoise shell jewelry motifs display anatomical accuracy that speaks to Oscar de la Renta's artistic heritage, while the secure clip-on mechanisms accommodate non-pierced ears without compromising comfort.
Authentication proves provenance through clear "Oscar de la Renta" and "USA" stamps embedded in the luxury jewelry construction. The mixed metal framework ensures durability while maintaining the lustrous appearance that defines authentic designer jewelry of this caliber.
For collectors of luxury costume jewelry, these Oscar de la Renta tortoise earrings...

Antique and Vintage Fashion Earrings for Sale
Shopping for antique and vintage fashion earrings?
Costume jewelry, which is also called fashion jewelry, is designed to accessorize with current fashions and is typically made with inexpensive materials. Whether you’re seeking a playful pair of designer fashion earrings or a similar accessory from the fine jewelry collection on 1stDibs that exudes elegance and grace, the offerings here present something for everyone.
In the United States, ear piercing didn’t really become popular until the 1950s and ‘60s, but our desire for a dazzling pair of vintage earrings has deeper roots than that. In fact, wearing earrings actually goes back thousands of years, and you can find many tangible connections between now and then in how we continue to talk about these treasured accessories.
Women wore ornamental earrings — studs and hoops at the very least — in Ancient Egypt, which is home to mines that are among the earliest sources of emeralds in the world. Emerald earrings are highly prized today, and their quality lies in their rich, saturated color. Earrings worn by the affluent in early Roman civilizations were set with precious stones such as diamonds and pearls, and a clean-looking pop of pearl on the front of the lobe is as timeless as ever. In the collection of fashion jewelry on 1stDibs, however, you're more likely to find earrings set with malachite, turquoise or other similarly inexpensive materials.
Vintage Chanel fashion clip-on earrings in gold-plated metal can be found set with luscious red gripoix stones or rhinestones, while earrings designed by costume jewelry makers such as Trifari or Kenneth Jay Lane — whether they feature lucite cabochons or poured milk glass — are as stylish and adaptable to both casual and formal wear as they’ve ever been.
Today, ear piercing is very popular all over the world, and, as a result, it is difficult to overstate how much everyone pines for a good pair of earrings. Sure, jewelry trends and the fashion darlings of social media come and go, but earrings have a staying power that seems impenetrable: The still-strong love affair between British royals and Cartier earrings is more than a century old, glossy 1970s hoops from legacy houses such as BVLGARI and Van Cleef & Arpels remain the statement makers they’ve always been and although people have been stacking earrings for many moons, the allure of an expertly mismatched stack of charms and studs still feels fresh and new.
On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique, new and vintage fashion earrings today.
