1980s Pearl Trio Amethyst Clip-On Earrings 'VIP'
Three ribbed gold-tone fans curl outward from a central pearl in this pretty little trefoil shape, each fan tipped with a small round amethyst stone that peeks out at the join. The fluted texture on the gold catches light beautifully as it curves, giving real shape and dimension to what could otherwise be a flat little motif. That single lustrous pearl sitting centre stage adds a soft, classic touch against all that warm gold and violet sparkle, striking a nice balance between polished and pretty. A versatile everyday earring that would sit just as well with a linen shirt as it would with your going-out dress.

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.
