Vintage 1980s Statement Clip-On Earrings – Capri Blue Vitrail & Black Crystal
Vintage 1980s Statement Clip-On Earrings – Capri Blue Vitrail & Black Crystal Collage on Leather
Bold and sculptural, these vintage 1980s clip-on earrings feature a dazzling collage of capri blue vitrail and black crystals in geometric cuts — square, marquise, round, hexagonal, and margarita. Each stone is hand-set atop a black leather square base, creating a dramatic layered effect reminiscent of Wendy Gell’s iconic runway designs.
The earrings are unsigned but exhibit the hallmarks of 1980s artisan costume jewelry: mixed media, oversized silhouette, and unapologetic glamour. The clip mechanisms are secure and comfortable, with black comfort pads on the reverse.
In very good vintage condition — all stones are intact and vibrant, with minimal wear to the leather backing. A striking pair for collectors, stylists, or anyone drawn to maximalist fashion.
