Description
Vintage clip-on earring, a unique piece from the 1970s, with a strong and original style. The visible upper part is a large round clip with a silver finish, adorned with an abstract raised pattern reminiscent of the organic or psychedelic shapes typical of the period. This pattern adds a graphic touch and a strong visual identity to the whole.

Below, the earring is articulated by a small metal bead, followed by a round carved pearl with a raised floral decoration, evoking the shape of a stylized rose. This white pearl with a satin finish creates a subtle contrast with the silver upper part and the lower pendant.

The pendant consists of an irregularly shaped faceted element, in milky and purple tones. It features internal inclusions and geometric patterns, with a cracked or ribbed appearance, reminiscent of certain glassmaking or artistic resin processes of the 70s. The transition between the pearl and this pendant is ensured by a small metal washer with a silver finish matching the clip.

The ensemble forms an earring that is both geometric and organic, playing with volumes, textures, and color contrasts. The design is typical of the creative fantasy of the seventies, with a marked retro influence.

The back of the jewel is not visible in the photo. Only the front and side parts are described here, in accordance with the proposed view.
