The Bijoux D'Orlan Épine de Lumière Clip-On Earrings

Archive Collection

An absolute masterclass in avant-garde geometric elegance and natural symmetry, The Bijoux D'Orlan Épine de Lumière Clip-On Earrings arrive in immaculate, deadstock archival condition. Perfectly preserved on their original cream velvet display card carrying the classic "Bijoux D'Orlan Paris" gilded branding, this rare pair serves as a brilliant example of the bold, architectural style that defined the house's late-1980s jewelry collections.

Each earring is designed in a striking, elongated shield or marquise shape that mimics stylized abstract foliage or a beautiful spinal column (épine). The design features a stepped cascade of high-polished, golden ribs that fan outward, building a dramatic sense of depth, texture, and movement. Bisecting this liquid gold fan is a contrasting, slender central spine plated in cool rhodium. This central ridge is meticulously hand-set with a glittering row of brilliant-cut clear Swarovski crystals, which catch the light from all angles to throw intense, diamond-like reflections (lumière). The play of contrast between the warm, polished gold-plated ribs and the cool, icy crystal spine gives these earrings an incredibly regal, face-framing appeal.

As an authentic deadstock find from the golden age of D'Orlan manufacturing, these earrings showcase the heavy casting weight, flawless mold precision, and signature premium triple-layered 22kt gold-plating depth iconic to the brand’s vintage heritage.
