Vintage Gem Craft Pinwheel Earrings Vault Release Master Sample

Verified as a vault release master sample, this piece was sourced directly from the Gem Craft archival vault and preserved as part of their internal design archive. Never retailed. Never worn.

A sculptural pair of vintage clip earrings rendered in silver-tone metal, each shaped like a stylized pinwheel. Glossy black enamel defines the swirling form, anchored by a clear crystal at center for added sparkle and dimensional contrast. Mounted on original Gemelli card stock, this piece reflects the close design and manufacturing relationship between Gemelli and Gem Craft, with Gemelli serving as a secondary label under the Craft umbrella.
