1960s Drop Earrings – Byzantine Gold Filigree with Jewel Accents & Faux Pearl Orbs

These dramatic vintage drop earrings channel Byzantine opulence and couture flair. Crafted in richly textured gold-tone metal, each earring features a filigree medallion top, detailed with an embossed motif, cascading into ornate beadwork. At the base, a regal crown-like cap is set with jewel-tone cabochons in emerald green and ruby red, encasing a large faux pearl orb. The combination of intricate metalwork, bold color, and oversized silhouette makes these earrings a true collector’s piece, reminiscent of runway jewelry from the 1980s with nods to earlier European influences.
