Vintage Carolee Pearl Post Earrings

Vintage Carolee Pearl Post Earrings

A pair of vintage post earrings from Carolee — the New York jewellery house — set with a single full, lustrous costume pearl held quietly in a gold frame. The pearl rests securely without movement, bringing a composed presence to the ear that settles the whole outfit.

Founded in New York in 1972, Carolee has long been recognised as a maker of refined costume jewellery, beloved by generations of women for its faux pearl and crystal designs. The weight and sheen evoking real pearls, paired with the deep tone of the gold, carry that quiet philosophy of the brand.

The gold tone frame has settled, over the years, into a deeper, gentler tone that gives the white of the pearl a refined finish. At 6.1g, the weight carries certain presence on the ear without strain.

A pair that wears naturally with a simple white shirt, a black knit, a linen dress — lifting the outfit a single quiet notch. The kind of pearl earring you reach for on working days and quietly special days alike — a classic that stays in rotation.

A branded piece, yet free of trend — a classic design to choose when you want something to keep for the long term. The kind of piece that can be passed from mother to daughter, across generations.

At the heart of Grace is a kind of beauty that doesn't ask to be noticed — quiet, dependable, always there. Not adornment made to catch the eye, but a still presence that lets you feel, in yourself, that this is enough. A piece to keep close, across the years.
