Description

Colorful, sculptural, and unmistakably 1980s, these Amy Lacombe clip earrings are wearable works of art. Each piece combines painterly magenta, blue, and violet marbling with gleaming 24k gold-plated overlays. The rippled gold edging and sculptural raised detailing add depth and a distinctly hand-crafted quality.

Backs are fitted with secure clip closures; one panel is signed Lacombe © 1988. Designed in Los Angeles during Lacombe’s peak jewelry years, these earrings reflect her signature “art to wear” ethos — vibrant, whimsical, and highly collectible.

Styling ideas

Pair with a black silk blouse, simple slip dress, or tailored blazer to let them stand out. Ideal for gallery nights, cocktail hours, or adding artistry to everyday looks.

Condition
