ANGELA CUMMINGS 1987 Modernist Flower Petals Earrings In .925 Sterling Silver
Flower earrings designed by Angela Cummings.
This fabulous pair of floral earrings was created by Angela Cummings in 1987, showcasing the designer’s signature modernist approach and refined sculptural aesthetic. The earrings are masterfully crafted in the shape of stylized four-petal flowers, formed in solid .925 sterling silver and enhanced with a brilliant high-polished finish that highlights the fluid contours and organic symmetry of the design.
The elegant floral motifs reflect Cummings’ fascination with nature-inspired forms, transforming a simple botanical silhouette into a sophisticated piece of wearable art. The smooth, dimensional petals create a sense of movement and balance, while the polished silver surface captures and reflects light beautifully, emphasizing the clean lines and minimalist elegance characteristic of her work.
The reverse of each earring is fitted with comfortable omega-back clip mechanisms, providing a secure and refined fastening system. The earrings are also designed with versatility in mind, as posts for pierced ears may be easily installed, allowing them to be worn as either clip-on or pierced earrings. A timeless example of 1980s modernist jewelry design, this pair combines sculptural craftsmanship, practicality, and the distinctive artistic vision of Angela Cummings.
