Small treasures with enormous personality. These authentic vintage earrings from the 1960s are a masterclass in meenakari enamel work, the ancient Indian technique of hand-painting metal with colour.

Each earring features a two-tier drop design. At the top, a sunburst stud in emerald green enamel with a golden centre catches light like a tiny medallion. Below, a spherical bead becomes a miniature canvas, hand-painted with intricate floral motifs. White daisies with jewel-toned emerald centres bloom against a rich background of burgundy, gold, and scattered touches of turquoise and coral. The craftsmanship is exquisite, every petal carefully applied by hand.

These are screw-back earrings, designed for comfort and security. The scale is delicate but the impact is anything but. They sit close to the ear, creating elegant movement without weight. Perfect for adding a pop of colour to neutral dressing or complementing our authentic vintage pieces.

Wearable art from an era when even the smallest accessories were made with care offering a slice of storytelling.
