Vintage Soleil 24k Gold-Plated Rope Knot Earrings — 1980s

A 1980s pair of clip-on earrings by Soleil, never worn. Each earring is a three-dimensional interlocking knot — looping bands of brushed gold with milgrain rope-edged borders, cast so the form reads differently from every angle. Substantial in size, considered in every detail. The knot earring is one of the defining shapes of 1980s jewellery; this is one of the best executions of it.
