Vintage Tutti Frutti Red Green Blue Carved Glass Long Earrings
Vintage Tutti Frutti Statement Drop Earrings with Colorful Carved Glass in Red, Green and Blue
A beautiful example of vintage Tutti Frutti-inspired costume jewelry, these exceptional long carved glass earrings feature a vibrant combination of red, green, and blue glass elements, capturing the colorful exuberance and decorative richness associated with the celebrated Tutti Frutti jewelry style.
Inspired by the legendary Tutti Frutti jewelry designs popularized during the Art Deco period, these earrings bring together richly colored, carved glass elements in a lively composition reminiscent of precious rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. The contrasting colors create a jewel-like appearance, while the intricate carved details add texture, depth, and artistic character. Length 4".
The elongated drop silhouette enhances the decorative arrangement, creating graceful movement and an impressive presence. The combination of vivid colors and carved surfaces evokes the glamour of historic gemstone jewelry while maintaining the individuality and creativity of vintage designer-inspired costume jewelry.
The Tutti Frutti style became especially celebrated through the work of Cartier in the early twentieth century, when colorful carved gemstones inspired by Indian jewelry traditions were incorporated into elaborate Art Deco creations. Floral and botanical motifs, vibrant color combinations, and richly textured gemstone arrangements became defining characteristics of this distinctive jewelry aesthetic.
These vintage red, green, and blue carved glass earrings reinterpret that tradition through colorful glass, offering the visual richness of Tutti Frutti jewelry in an expressive and wearable statement design.
With their generous length, vivid colors, and decorative carved elements, these earrings make an attractive addition to a collection of vintage statement jewelry, Tutti Frutti-style accessories, or collectible costume jewelry.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
