Soft silver-grey silk thread gives these vintage drop earrings their beautiful pearly sheen. The thread is closely wrapped around rounded teardrop forms, creating fine linear texture and a subtle play of light across the curved surface.

The cool grey colouring shifts gently between silver, dove grey and pale pewter, while small silver-tone fittings complete the drops. Their hooks and rounded forms create a graceful line from the ear, with the silk thread adding an unusual textile element to the design.

These would look particularly lovely alongside sapphire, teal, plum, raspberry or deep burgundy, where the silvery grey can pick up surrounding colour beautifully. They are also an appealing choice for anyone who enjoys vintage jewellery with interesting materials and tactile detail.

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.
