Bold, architectural, and quietly powerful—these vintage brushed sterling silver earrings are a rare studio-crafted find. Dated “Sydney 87” and hand-etched on the reverse, they embody the Minimalist/Postmodern design wave of the 1980s. The asymmetrical, layered fan shape offers movement and volume while maintaining a sleek, matte brushed surface that plays with light and shadow.
