Description

Full of colour, these gorgeous cascade clip on earrings feature three drops of fuchsia rhinestones set into a gold tone backing. They hang just under 7cm long with the largest stones being 1cm across, whilst the rest are 4mm. The cascade is fully hinged to dance as you move, and the clip on earrings are held in place with a traditional paddle style clip for effortless wear.

These earrings are part of a batch of genuine vintage British made jewellery we’re releasing. It came about rather unexpectedly as we used to sell many lines from this made in London by Silver Star around 20 years ago. He had a team of two electroplaters working for him, and their jewellery was seen on many famous people including Kate Moss.

Recently, he was clearing out his warehouse and several boxes that had been forgotten about since at least 2012, if not earlier were discovered!

When I say they’re not making them like that any more, I’m not kidding. One of the electroplaters has left for the big jewellery box in the sky, and the other is retired. When these are gone, they’re gone.

All of the pieces retain all their shine and charm, complete with the great craftsmanship those two brought to their work. Silver Star were one of our earliest suppliers and without their great quality bling clip on earrings, I don’t think this website would be here today. Only the paddle of the clip shows a dash of age. It’s hidden out of view, but there’s that hint of aged metal look to it. Nothing serious and nothing that detracts from the overall aesthetics, but they reveal the pieces to be vintage. If it wasn’t for them, you might think it was newly made!

The beauty of all this is that it show these are great British works of art that are made to last. If they were going to tarnish, it would have happened long ago. These are the real deal – quality vintage British artisan clip on earrings.
