Object Description
A bold and striking pair of gold and black jade earrings by Angela Cummings c.1980s, the large oval domed earrings in highly polished 18ct yellow gold, each inlaid with sixteen irregular shaped pieces of carved and polished black jade, with post and clip fittings to the reverse. These fabulous earrings are pure 1980s glamour, but don’t worry, you don’t need to wear them with mega shoulder pads! Surprisingly versatile, they look just as good worn with a little black dress as with a white shirt and jeans. A classic and instantly recognisable design from Cummings, these earrings will liven up any jewellery collection.
