AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pair of 1960s costume earrings features a circular design with a substantial structure and a dark finish. Each earring is round and raised, adorned with several rows of pale green cabochons or rhinestones arranged in concentric circles. The center of each piece is highlighted by a larger cabochon, surrounded by an elaborate border that accentuates the voluminous effect.

The contrast between the light green color of the decorative elements and the black base gives these earrings a particularly graphic retro style, typical of 1960s costume jewelry. The entire piece is mounted on a structure with a dark finish, likely aged or patinated metal, though the exact material is not visually identifiable.

The visible front shows meticulous craftsmanship, with a regular alternation of green rhinestones and small black decorative elements, creating a distinct floral effect. The domed shape and relatively large size of each earring evoke the "clip" models that were very popular in costume jewelry during this period. No logo or brand is visible on the presented side.

The presentation on a yellow cushion highlights the color contrast and the subtle sparkle of the cabochons. There are a few small signs of wear on some rhinestones, typical of old jewelry, but the overall piece remains visually harmonious and decorative.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some visible signs of wear on certain cabochons (nicks, micro-scratches), with no major apparent defects on the front part.

Did you know? In the 1960s, costume jewelry experienced a considerable boom with the use of new materials and bright colors. Clip-on earrings, often large and very decorative, allowed women to wear spectacular jewelry without pierced ears, a practice that was still uncommon at the time.
