1980s Carved Bone and Gold Vermeil Sterling Silver Clip-On Earrings - Kai-Yin Lo

A sculptural pair of vintage clip-on earrings, attributed to Hong Kong jewellery designer Kai-Yin Lo, whose work is known for combining traditional Asian references with clean, contemporary forms.

Each earring features a softly polished cream-coloured panel carved into an abstract overlapping leaf or seed-pod design. The restrained incised detailing gives the earrings an organic, almost Art Deco appearance, while their elongated oval form makes them substantial without appearing overly ornate.

The reverse is fitted with gold-tone hinged clip fastenings marked “KY 925”. This mark, together with the design and mixed-material construction, is consistent with jewellery attributed to Kai-Yin Lo. Kai-Yin Lo established her jewellery line during the 1980s and became known for combining Chinese-inspired forms with semi-precious and organic materials.
