Vintage Escada Maltese Cross gold and crystal statement earrings

Vintage Escada Maltese Cross gold and crystal statement earrings From the late 1980s, these fabulous Escada Maltese Cross earrings are set with uniquely cut crystals. They remind me of the work of Christian Lacroix from the same era. Made of gold gilt (or gold-plate), with a high gold content (gold gilt is always 24K; if gold-plate, my guess is 22K or 24K) In excellent condition; still look new Clip-on backs could be converted to French-back studs Last known market value was $493.11 CDN Height: 3.25" Width: 1.75" Weight: 46 grms (23 grms each) Tags: vintage, earrings, drop earrings, gold, gold-plated, gilt, crystal, cross, Maltese Cross, Escada, 80s, statement, event, party, evening, designer, Christian Lacroix
