Vintage French Black Enamel Sunglasses Tie Clip 1980s Gold‑Tone Novelty
A vintage French black‑enamel sunglasses tie clip in a warm gold‑tone finish, dating to the 1980s. This playful yet stylish design captures the era’s love of novelty accessories—bold, graphic, and unmistakably French. The glossy black enamel sunglasses sit at the center of a sleek gold‑tone bar, creating a fun accent that still feels polished and wearable.
The tie clip is unsigned, as many French novelty pieces were, but the craftsmanship and enamel quality are consistent with 1980s French production.
Very good vintage condition with light, normal surface wear. Enamel is glossy and intact, and the clip mechanism is strong.
