Authentic Cartier Vintage Pearl Tassel Drop Earrings in 18ct Gold 1989

A refined and highly collectible pair of authentic Cartier vintage pearl tassel drop earrings, signed and dated 1989, complete with their original Cartier presentation case. Crafted in 18ct gold (750), these earrings reflect the understated elegance and architectural balance for which Cartier is renowned. The design is deceptively simple yet impeccably executed — a single cultured pearl set above a polished gold hoop, suspending a graceful tassel of seed pearls beneath. The upper cultured pearls measure approximately 7.5mm and display a soft, even lustre. Below, the delicate movement of the seed pearl tassels provides fluidity and lightness, contrasting beautifully with the sculptural gold hoop. The reverse of each earring is signed Cartier and dated 1989. The posts are marked 750 (18ct gold), numbered, and fitted with secure pinch lock butterflies also marked 18ct gold — reassuring indicators of authenticity and quality. Measuring 3cm (1¼") in length and weighing a substantial 11 grams, the earrings have a pleasing presence while remaining balanced and wearable. They are in excellent condition, however one post very slightly bent, mentioned purely for accuracy. With full signature, date, original box and classic late 20th century Cartier design, these earrings represent both a beautiful jewel and a sound acquisition for the discerning collector. Supplied in their original Cartier presentation case.
