This Sterling Silver Ribbon Series was designed by Angela Cummings in 1988 after leaving Tiffany. Many of her designs from this era have become iconic and the ‘Ribbon' was one of her best selling items. They were perchased by a wealthy Japanese lady from Angela Cummings shop in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in 1990. Two other items from this same series are available in seperate listings.
They have possibly been worn but have almost no visible scratches and is in near-perfect condition. They are marked “1988”, “Sterling" and “Cummings”. See photos for other details…
The Earrings measure about 1½ inches (2cm) across and weigh 22.4g (11.2g each) and are dated “1988”. They have omega clips and can easily be fitted with posts if needed as there was no difference in design.
All of our items are Guaranteed Authentic!
Angela Cummings joined Tiffany & Co. in 1967 at age 23 and remained until 1984. She created her first collection for Tiffany under her own name in 1975, joining a small group of elite designers such as Paloma Picasso, Jean Schlumberger, and Elsa Peretti - names that are to this day associated with Tiffany. The inspiration for her work comes from nature, often incorporating forms such as ginkgo leaves, spiderwebs, vines, shells, feathers, sea foam, dragonflies, and orchids into her jewelry. In 1984 Cummings left Tiffany to form her own business across the street from Tiffany at the upscale Bergdorf Goodman department store. The 500-square-foot space, a first for a jewelry designer at the Fifth Avenue retailer, was located in the middle of the first floor. These items are from this period.
