Fendi earrings, faux pearl cabochons set in a gold plated gilt frame, triple signed, 1980`s ca, Italian.

These earrings are likely designed by Karl Lagerfeld as they are from the period when he was involved in the Fendi accessories design department.

Authentic  vintage over sized clip-on earrings. Each is a pair of inverted ovals each raised to present a faux pearl cabochon in the centre. These ovals are hinged together with a decorative rod which is finished at either end with the emblematic Fendi carved acorns. In the centre there is the Fendi monogram in black. The frame is 18 Karate gold plated gilt.

Looking at the back of the earrings, the faux pearl allows light to pass. The frame at the back is finished with a textured almost `Greek key` pattern. The hinge is solid and intact. Each earring is stamped 3 times: on each of the 2 ovals and on the clip-on portion.

These earrings are in good vintage condition.

Gift box included

These earrings in the gift box could be easily sent in the post insured.

Karl Lagerfeld Designer History

Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most recognized designers in the world with his iconic ponytail, white hair, & dark sunglasses.

Karl Lagerfeld was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1933 and in 1953 he moved to Paris to study fashion design.

Early in his career, Lagerfeld worked for the house of Pierre Balmain, the house of Jean Palou, Chloe (1959-1982) and Fendi.

In 1975, Lagerfeld started his own company labeled “Parfums Lagerfeld” to which he later added fashion items & accessories.

In 1983, he became the head designer and artistic director for the house of Chanel.

His named jewellery has “KL” engraved in script. Some have a fan design embedded on the back of earrings, or “Karl Lagerfeld, Paris” (a gold-tone metal tag can appear on jewelry). The relief of a head logo can also appear on jewelry pieces.

Today, Lagerfeld’s name appears on many of his own ready-to-wear garments of Chanel with his trademark: the KL and Karl Lagerfeld couture. He is a leader in new or unconventional movements in jewelry design. He is still working for Chanel and his association with Chloe ended in 1997 when their designs were taken over by Stella McCartney. Today, Lagerfeld designs for 3 companies: his own, Chanel, and furs by Fendi of Italy.
