Vintage Kirks Folly Gold Tone Cherub and Heart Charm Clip Earrings

A pair of Kirks Folly clip earrings from the height of the brand’s romantic period. Each satin gold tone cherub face sits between a pair of feathered wings, and from it falls a small cascade of charms on textured chain: two repoussé puffy hearts with roses, an open heart set with aurora borealis rhinestones, and two pale blue glass flowers with an AB finish. They move and catch the light as you do.

Details

• Maker: Kirks Folly, signed on the back of each clip
• Era: circa 1980s to early 1990s, based on the signature and the cherub-and-charm design language Kirks Folly used in those years
• Materials: satin gold tone metal, aurora borealis rhinestones, blue glass flower beads
• Colours: gold, pale blue
• Closure: clip-on

Condition

Very good vintage condition. All rhinestones and glass flowers are present. The satin finish is even, with light age tone along the chains that suits the piece. Clips close firmly.

A statement pair that still feels playful. They would be lovely with an updo and a plain neckline.
