The Details...
These earrings are constructed from silver plated metal. They each feature two heart shaped motifs set with small, round, colourless rhinestones and are also detailed with a square cut, bezel set, colourless rhinestone. The earrings are signed. 'NAPIER' is stamped onto the reverse of each earring. They fasten to the ear with a push-back mechanism. The earrings measure 2.75cm x 1.25cm. The posts of these earrings are most likely made from surgical steel.
A Short History...
The Napier company catered extensively for the demand for classic gold and silver tone pieces in the 1980s. Women wanted practical designs that would function in the workplace, as much as they would look elegant with evening wear. Well crafted, plated, earrings such as these were consequently a popular purchase in department stores accross the USA and UK in the Eighties. They were crucial to the enduring appeal of Napier jewellery.

The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:
- Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.
- Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.
- Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.
- Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.
- If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.
