Vintage Lunch at the Ritz Asian Fan earrings with hand-painted cherry blossom enamel by original designer Esme Hecht. Iconic American wearable art jewelry. Petite drop size measures 1" H × 0.75" W. Collectible 1980s 1990s vintage designer costume jewelry piece. Made in USA. 22K gold plated enamel Asian fan earrings.

These vintage Asian Fan earrings present designer Esme Hecht's pioneering wearable art in miniature. Each tiny folding fan carries five raised ribs over a scalloped fan leaf, finished in 22K gold plating. The leaf is covered in shimmering gold enamel flecked with glitter, then hand-painted with a black enamel branch and white cherry blossoms centered in coral and deep red. Black enamel shades the space beneath the ribs for depth. Each fan hangs from a jump ring on a French wire, so it swings gently with every move.

Each earring measures 1" H × 0.75" W and weighs 2 grams, light enough to wear all day. French wire ear hooks for pierced ears. Signed ©LATR on the ear wire. Authentic 1980s 1990s Lunch at the Ritz from the designer's personal archives, in excellent vintage condition. Pairs beautifully with the matching Lunch at the Ritz Asian Fan brooch, sold separately.
