Tiffany & Co. Angela Cummings 1979 18k Gold Black Onyx Knot Vintage Earrings

These Tiffany & Co. Angela Cummings earrings feature a sculptural knot design in polished carved onyx set against 18k yellow gold. The rounded black onyx forms have a smooth, high polish finish and a dimensional pretzel like shape, giving the earrings a compact but recognizable presence on the ear. The backs are finished in yellow gold with post and push back closures. The earrings are stamped T&Co., 18K, ©1979, and bear a C maker’s mark, associated with Angela Cummings for Tiffany & Co.

The earrings weigh 2.7 grams and measure 11 mm in length from left to right by 8 mm in width from top to bottom. Their small scale, carved onyx, and knot motif reflect the bold but refined design language associated with Angela Cummings’ late 1970s work for Tiffany & Co. The earrings show light wear consistent with age, including minor surface wear visible in the photos.
