A striking pair of vintage earrings exquisitely crafted in sterling silver by Angela Cummings from the 1980s. The design features a beautifully detailed woven basket-weave pattern rendered across a softly domed square form, a composition that showcases Cummings' signature approach to textural sophistication.
The design is deceptively simple yet remarkably striking: bold enough to command attention, yet timeless enough to transcend the decade of its creation. The interplay of light across the woven surface creates subtle movement with every turn of the head, whilst the domed geometry provides ergonomic comfort and flattering proportions.
Fitted with sturdy posts and omega backs for secure, all-day wear, these earrings represent the pinnacle of 1980s American jewellery design. The hallmark "CUMMINGS STERLING © 1985" on the reverse confirms authenticity and the meticulous craftsmanship for which Angela Cummings is renowned. An essential addition for collectors of designer jewellery and those who value architectural form, textural artistry, and the enduring sophistication of fine studio design.
Angela Cummings is an acclaimed American jewellery designer celebrated for her organic, sculptural style and innovative use of materials. Rising to prominence during her tenure at Tiffany & Co. in the 1970s–80s, she later launched her own brand, earning a devoted following for pieces that blend artistry, fluid form, and everyday wearability.
