Textural, sculptural, and quietly clever, they have that dressed-up finish that makes a simple black knit feel finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"806\" data-start=\"438\"\u003eWear them with a sharp collar for contrast, or lean into the mood with a bold purple blazer, dark denim, or a rich velvet.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1474\" data-start=\"1349\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sale Items\/Damaged Items cannot be exchanged, refunded or returned. \u003cem\u003eColours may display differently on various devices.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apricot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44569371443293,"sku":"HBK06072026-1","price":39.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0295\/5614\/6269\/files\/VintageEarrings_7_c33f85ce-e3c2-4a5a-abcb-1589cee3761b.jpg?v=1783318756","url":"https:\/\/paintedbird.nz\/products\/violet-bead-knot-vintage-earrings","provider":"Painted Bird Vintage Boutique \u0026 The Aviary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
