Removable Lapis Rings: Each earring features a detachable lapis ring, allowing you to wear them with or without the lapis hoops for versatile styling—ideal for transitioning between daytime chic and evening sophistication.
Mother-of-Pearl & Enamel Details
Subtle Radiance: Luminous mother-of-pearl inlays (or accents) glow softly against the warm gold background.

Durable & Luxurious: Offers a commanding presence on the ear while retaining a classic warm shine.
Post & Omega Backings
Secure & Comfortable: The combination of a post and hinged omega clip ensures a snug fit for both pierced ears and extended wear.
Keeps the earrings flush against the earlobe while accommodating the extra weight from the lapis rings.

Why Choose These FRED Paris Earrings?

Care & Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the gold, lapis, mother-of-pearl, and enamel portions gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth after each wear.
For occasional deeper cleaning, use mild, gemstone-safe products and avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, especially for delicate enamel and inlays.
Storage
Keep in a soft-lined box or pouch to prevent scratches; store removable lapis rings separately to maintain their finish.
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can affect the stones’ color and the enamel’s integrity.
Periodic Checkups
Ensure the post and omega backings remain secure, and that removable components—like the lapis rings—fit snugly. Occasional professional inspections can help maintain excellent condition.
Celebrate the timeless allure of 1980s French craftsmanship with these Vintage FRED Paris 18K Gold Convertible Earrings—an incomparable blend of luxurious materials, dynamic design, and impeccable savoir-faire.
