These crescent-shaped stud earrings feature an ornate silver-toned plastic design with raised patterned borders, curved decorative detailing and three brightly coloured diamantés on each earring. The vivid blue, orange-red and turquoise stones sit within decorative surrounds, contrasting with the darker recessed areas of the silver finish. Their generous open-centre shape gives them the appearance of substantial hoops, with plenty of interesting detail across the surface.
These earrings would look great with a cobalt blouse, a red dress or a green jacket. The three diamanté colours offer plenty of options for coordinating with different outfits, while the patterned silver-toned finish adds another layer of detail. Their large crescent shape works particularly well with an open neckline or hair tucked behind the ears.

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.
