Vintage Linda Levinson Byzantine Statement Earrings – 5 ⅛” Gold & Pearl Clip-Ons

Dramatic 1980s Linda Levinson shoulder-duster earrings in radiant matte gold with ruby-red glass centers and dangling baroque pearls. Hand-finished with twin chain drops and ornate filigree—luxurious, theatrical, and collectible. Hand-cast and finished—exemplary of Levinson’s bold, art-historical style from her New York studio line of the 1980s. Condition: Excellent vintage condition; brilliant gilding, intact pearls, and secure clip backs with only faint patina appropriate to age. I bought these in London in 1989.
