Christian Lacroix Baroque Heart Earrings — Velvet Center, Gold-Tone, Early 1990s

Baroque heart earrings in sculpted gold-tone metal with raised scrollwork and bead detailing framing a black velvet center. The heart form sits within Lacroix’s characteristic ornamental vocabulary, drawing on the decorative language of French baroque design that ran throughout the house’s jewelry of the period.

The contrast between the matte velvet heart and the polished gold frame creates depth and texture, allowing the sculptural border to read clearly even at a distance.

The reverse clip mechanism carries the CHRISTIAN LACROIX – Made in France signature stamp.
