Overview:
Stylish vintage Portuguese textured button earrings crafted in 19k yellow gold (circa 1960s).
The chic earrings are crafted in bright buttery 19k yellow gold, with a textured cut out star pattern that allows for a subtle glimmer when worn. The earrings have a lightweight (hollow construction) and sit nicely on the earlobe. The earrings are fitted with posts and butterfly backings for pierced ears.
The earrings are in good condition and were lightly cleaned and polished.
The piece was acquired on a recent trip to Portugal, one of Europe's most exciting destinations for discovering exceptional antique and vintage jewelry. Portugal's thriving antiques community, historic markets, and renowned art and antiques fairs provided access to remarkable jewelry with provenance, exceptional beauty and character. Each piece was carefully selected for craftsmanship, originality and history. I am delighted to share these newly acquired pieces. Please shop our site to view the entire collection.
