Heiress's Tears Dangles

The Reluctant Debutante

ERA: A Gilded Cage Ballroom 

STYLE NOTES: Royal Blue Sparkle, Intricate Filigree, A Quiet Dignity, Worn with Wisdom

PAIRS WELL WITH: A silk gown, a heavy crown of duty, and a mind that wanders to books of poetry. These are not earrings for showing off wealth; they are a quiet rebellion, a flash of pure, deep blue truth in a world of glittering superficiality.

The Character Arc

She was born into a world of gilded cages and polite conversations. This pair of vintage Avon earrings belongs to her—the lady of the manor who finds more truth in a quiet library than in a crowded ballroom.

The design is a masterpiece of Victorian Revival elegance: intricate, gold-tone filigree sparkles with clear rhinestones. But the heart and soul of the piece is the magnificent, teardrop-shaped sapphire blue crystal. It is not a fiery, attention-seeking red, nor a calculating green. It is the color of a deep, tranquil lake, a flash of intellectual and emotional clarity in a sea of social pretense.

This pair has been her faithful companion to many soirées. It carries the marks of a life of duty—the gold has softened, the back tells its own story. But the deep blue of its heart remains as pure and brilliant as ever. It is for the woman who navigates the world with grace, but saves her truest, deepest self for the moments that truly matter.

Description

Brand: AVON (Signed on the back and clutches)

Measurements:  Approx. 1.33 inches (3.38 cm) in total length

Materials: Gold-plated metal, Glass Rhinestones

Condition: GOOD, AUTHENTICALLY WORN VINTAGE CONDITION (6-7/10)

Please read carefully: This is a cherished piece with a lot of character and visible signs of a past life. The gold-tone plating shows minor fading and oxidation, particularly on the back and near the chain connections. The front of the piece, however, still presents beautifully, and the blue and clear rhinestones are all present and sparkly.

This is not a pristine, "like-new" item. It is for a collector who appreciates the authentic, "lived-in" charm of a true vintage treasure. The price has been set to reflect its 6-7/10 condition.
