Long, dangling, decorated with shiny clear stones, with the “St. John” logo (CS) engraved on the top of the stud. This is one of the rarer and more interesting designs of St. John earrings. Unusual in their shape and length (most St. John earrings are clip-on), which is why these earrings are rare because they are stud-type. This is quite rare among vintage “St. John” jewelry. The long cascading design is unusual in St. John collections, which more often use symmetrical, compact shapes. Decorated with Swarovski crystal-style stones that shine subtly but elegantly. The style can be described as a bit of a fusion of “Art Deco” and “modern glam” - very elegant movement, sparkle. This type of dangling earrings was offered in the St. John Evening or Couture lines. The CS marking engraved under the stud indicates that this isan original production, often exclusive. The “CS” markingconfirms that the earrings were made by a Collins Seitzsubcontractor who collaborated with the St. John brand in the mid-1990s. This type of earrings is not widely available in the trade – this model is not often seen even on collectible sites (1stdibs, Ruby Lane or eBay).
This type of earrings is valued not only for its design, but also for the authenticity of its style and era. They perfectly reflect the spirit of 1990s fashion: length, shiny surfaces, clear gold trim and imitation crystal stones. These expressive earrings arerare, collectible, and are likely to increase in value over time.
