Jewelry made from pearls was one of the great jewellery passions of the 1980s. The bigger the better was the motto, and so the then new South Sea cultured pearls adorned rings and ear clips, but cheaper alternatives such as the well-known Mabé pearls were also popular. Another interesting material that was used in this decade to achieve the desired large creations can be seen in this vintage set. The clip ear studs and the matching ring each feature a polished segment from the shell of the nautilus, a sea-dwelling cephalopod. These were already being made into jewellery in the Rococo period under the name "Coque de Perle". The mother-of-pearl shimmers beautifully with a melting lustre; only the elongated oval shape and the slight fluting of the surface indicate that these are not pearls or pearl shells. The shell pieces are each closed on the back with a mother-of-pearl plate, and the shells are filled with a light synthetic resin, which gives the pieces sufficient strength and stability without making them too heavy. The shimmering cream-white pieces are held in place by simple, period-typical yellow gold settings. The set, which was probably made in the USA around 1985, is in very good condition and came to us from England.
