1980s Violet Enamel Love Knot Stud Earrings 'VIP'
The perfect gift for your BFF. this pair is all about movement, four curved enamel panels twisting into a love knot form, glossy violet against exposed brass channels that let a little light through the open centre. The swirled shape gives a lovely sense of motion even standing still, like a small pinwheel caught mid turn, while the polished enamel finish keeps everything looking crisp and well made rather than dated. Neat and true to a stud silhouette, they are an easy grab for anyone who wants a bit of shape and colour without any drop or dangle.

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.
