Why I'm Obsessed with Antique Enamel Glazed Ring Earrings (Honest Review)

Real Talk

I bought the Antique Enamel Glazed Ring Earrings because I wanted something pretty but not shouty. I’m from Melbourne and I wear a lot of simple outfits. These little hoops? They punch above their weight. Light as, comfy for a full day. The enamel glaze gives a soft sheen that catches the light in a properly stunning way.

Big win: they’re Handmade in Australia. That’s huge. You can tell the care went into each piece. The finish feels way closer to boutique or salon-quality than the cheap mass-produced stuff you see online. The edges are tidy. The clasp is solid. They don’t squeak or flop around like some cheap rings I've tried.

I wore them to brunch, to work, and out for drinks. I got heaps of compliments. People asked if they were vintage. I reckon that says something.

How they look and feel

Colour is slightly muted — in a good way. Old-school chic, not glossy plastic. Weight is perfect. You barely notice them after the first five minutes. They suit a plain tee as much as a silk blouse. I paired them with a clean bun and it was a whole vibe.

Comparison — salon/store quality

Compared to store-bought costume jewellery, these feel a step up. Better finish. Better fastening. Compared to boutique handmade pieces in stores? Very similar. In some ways these beat the mid-range shop pieces because of that enamel finish and attention to detail.

Final thoughts

I’m picky about jewellery. These passed my test. They’re understated but have that little je ne sais quoi. I reckon they’d make a stunning gift or a reliable everyday pair. If you like things that look a bit vintage and are actually wearable, buy them.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With normal wear and basic care these will keep looking great for months. The enamel itself should last years if you don’t bash them around. Expect the best results if you remove them for rough jobs, sleeping, and avoid tossing them in a handbag with keys.

Is it waterproof?
They handle a splash — washing hands or rain is fine. I wouldn’t wear them in the pool or shower every day. Chlorine and salt can wear the finish over time. If you want them to stay pristine, take them off for swims.
