Angela Cummings 18k Gold Knot Earrings with Mother-of-Pearl Inlay, Circa 1982, 11.7g
Description:
These vintage Angela Cummings knot earrings are a rare and collectible example of the designer’s celebrated inlay technique. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, each earring is decorated with precisely set mother-of-pearl inlay, creating a luminous contrast between the iridescent surface and the polished gold. The design is carefully mirrored left and right, giving the pair a balanced sculptural quality that is characteristic of Cummings’ innovative style.
Measuring approximately 17mm tall by 14.83mm wide with a thickness of 4.5mm, the earrings are substantial yet wearable. Together they weigh 11.7 grams and are fitted with secure clip backs (non-pierced). The interiors carry full hallmarks, confirming authenticity.
Dating from circa 1982 and manufactured in the United States, these earrings reflect Angela Cummings’ highly sought-after late 20th-century designs. Pre-owned and in excellent condition, they remain a significant addition for collectors of her work and admirers of modern American jewelry.
