Vintage French Tiffany & Co Black Silver & 18k Gold Earrings, Lucien Vachey

A striking and uncommon design from Tiffany’s French workshop, these sculptural flower earrings showcase Lucien Vachey’s patented “black silver” technique—an oxidized silver alloy developed for leading houses including Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Cartier. The softly domed petals create a bold, dimensional silhouette, contrasted by fine 18K gold ribbing and a polished gold center. The interplay of darkened silver and warm gold gives the piece a distinctly late-20th-century French aesthetic—refined, modern, and unmistakably luxurious.

Crafted with substantial weight and excellent presence, these earrings reflect the high level of finishing associated with Tiffany’s European production during this period. The clip backs are secure and comfortable, making them easy to wear with their solid feel.

Good vintage condition. Professionally cleaned with light wear consistent with age. Includes original Tiffany & Co. travel pouch as pictured.
