Glimpse into the Past: Retro Earrings on Lucille Ball

lucyball

I love Lucy and I love her glamourous Retro earrings she always wore. With her infamous red hair always having a short style, her earrings surely stood out. With Lucy’s face plastered all over my hometown (we were both born in Jamestown, NY) I never quite noticed such a beautiful pair of earrings like the ones above. It looks as though she is wearing two different pairs on her ears. Definitely statement-making here. Next time will you go for big and bold earrings like Lucy?

Retro all the way with this design–14k yellow gold discs with pearls and sapphires spraying outward. I could see Lucy wearing these while filming a scene with Ethel. From Beladora 2, and priced at $556.50
