A charming mid-century design from Trifari, these sculptural drop earrings feature carved bone-tone acrylic fish set in rich gold-plated mounts. The dimensional composition gives the pair movement and visual depth while remaining refined and timeless.
The earrings are well made and in excellent vintage condition. The gold plating is rich and intact, and the clips function securely. The pieces are signed on the back of the clips.
The design pairs a smaller carved fish at the top with a larger fish drop below, creating a balanced figural silhouette that is playful yet elegant — a classic example of collectible mid-century costume jewelry.
