Lunch At The Ritz "Carte Du Jour" East African Safari 1990 Chandelier Earrings

Lunch At The Ritz "Carte Du Jour" East African Safari 1990 Chandelier Earrings are a highly collectible and exceptional example of vintage luxury jewelry. Originally released in 1990, these earrings were designed by the brand’s founders, Esme Hecht and Alexis Watts, and embody a whimsical, multi-layered African jungle motif. The elaborate design features playful black and white monkeys hanging from their tails, a striding zebra, and a gold-glitter enameled leopard with striking green rhinestone eyes. Dangling from the earrings is a delicate half-heart charm painted with a palm tree and sun, adding to their exotic charm. Constructed from a heavy brass base metal with polished 24-karat gold electroplating, the figures are meticulously detailed with hand-painted epoxy resin enamel work. They are further adorned with faceted Austrian crystal and jet black glass accent beads, linked together to create a dynamic, luxurious piece perfect for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. These earrings are ideal for pairing with high-end designer items such as a Gucci tailored gown, a Chanel evening dress, or an Alexander McQueen statement blazer, complemented by Tiffany & Co. or Cartier accessories for a complete, glamorous look. Their unique design and artisanal craftsmanship make them a standout addition to any vintage jewelry collection, embodying both opulence and artistry.
