A tightly woven knot of glossy dark violet beads with deep black shadowing, finished with a sweep of clear faceted beads and a creamy seed-pearl tone centre bead like a tiny signet. Textural, sculptural, and quietly clever, they have that dressed-up finish that makes a simple black knit feel finished.

Wear them with a sharp collar for contrast, or lean into the mood with a bold purple blazer, dark denim, or a rich velvet. They sit close to the ear and catch light in small, flattering flashes, which is exactly what you want near the face. 

Choosing authentic vintage accessories keeps beautiful workmanship in circulation and sidesteps the churn of disposable new production. The easiest kind of wardrobe upgrade is the one that already exists.

ABOUT APRICOT GIFT BOUTIQUE
This exclusive range of earrings originates from Apricot Gift Boutique, a store established circa 1984 in the heart of the beachside suburb of Mairangi Bay, New Zealand. The store was owned and operated by Colombian artist Helizabeth Borrero de King, offering a snapshot of her love of fashion, style, and all that glitters. A gift and jewellery store with a little taste of everything, it catered to a diverse group of locals, fashionistas, and supported artisans. The store was known for embracing community and culture, as well as bringing a unique overseas perspective to the area. Brought to you in this collection are some of the surviving pieces from the store's closure in the early 1990s. Each piece is unique and brings joy to the wearer.
