Description

Golden hoop earring worn by the fashion icon

Unique pairing of wardrobe items: one of Prince’s personally-worn gold-tone hoop earrings, measuring 2″ in diameter; and a silk screen test pattern reading, “Prince,” on a light orange 19.5 x 10 piece of fabric. In overall fine condition, with three vertical folds to silkscreen. From the collection of costume designer Helen Hiatt and accompanied by a letter of provenance. Prince remains as lauded for his unique gender-fluid style as he does for his eclectic chart-topping music, thus making any jewelry worn by the late pop star extremely desirable, especially so these classic hoop earrings, a style he famously wore on his right ear; later into his career, Prince wore ear cuffs on his left ear.
