About this piece
These delicate Soviet earrings, dating from the 1990s, exemplify the refined metalwork tradition of the late USSR. Each piece features a charming stylised apple motif set on a gently curved stem, rendered in what appears to be sterling silver with a subtle, naturalistic finish. The design balances simplicity with skilled hand-finishing — the apple is modest in scale, softly modelled, and sits at the terminus of a hook ear wire that curves away from the face with pleasing grace.
The hook fastening is characteristic of Russian and Soviet jewellery practice and remains secure and functional. The pair shows honest wear consistent with age and use — light surface marks and a gentle patina that speak to their history rather than detract from their charm. These are earrings for someone who values understated elegance and the quiet craftsmanship of post-Soviet metalwork. Store in a dry place and polish gently with a soft cloth if desired; avoid prolonged contact with moisture.
