Vintage Chinese/Oriental Revival Sterling Silver Earrings with Carnelian Drops & Enamel Lotus Motifs.

Up for grabs is this magnificent vintage pair of sterling silver earrings, richly plated in warm yellow gold and designed in the ever-sought-after Chinese/Oriental revival style of the mid-20th century. These beauties embrace colour, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism in one elegant dangle.

Each earring begins with a delicately enamelled three-leaf lotus motif, rendered in vivid sky-blue and deep vermilion red enamel—a colour pairing traditionally associated with harmony, vitality, and protection. The enamel work is done in a cloisonné-style technique, giving the leaves that high-fired glossy shimmer.

Suspended below, via a graceful articulated link chain, hangs a luminous teardrop-shaped Carnelian gemstone. Each Carnelian drop is perfectly polished, glowing with its signature honey-amber warmth—capped again with matching three-leaf enamel lotus petals that tie the whole design together in perfect symmetry and movement.

*Carnelian – Known across ancient cultures as the Stone of Courage & Vitality. In Chinese tradition, Carnelian is believed to energise the body, restore motivation, and attract prosperity. Its fiery orange tones represent life force, creativity, and the spark of good luck.

*Blue & Red Enamel Leaves – The stylised three-leaf motif echoes the lotus bud, a powerful symbol in Asian art representing rebirth, purity, spiritual awakening, and rising above adversity.

• Blue symbolises serenity, wisdom, and protection.
• Red is the colour of joy, celebration, and auspicious fortune.

Together, they form a protective charm believed to guard the wearer while inviting positive energy and emotional balance.

*The earrings come with studs/butterflies*
