These vintage 925 sterling silver clip-on earrings have a bold, sculptural presence that speaks directly to fans of modernist and brutalist jewelry. Deep ribbed waves create a dramatic dimensional form, accented with applied gold-tone twisted wire that follows the curves and adds warmth to the silver. At about 1.25 inches tall and .8 inches wide, they make a striking statement without feeling heavy, thanks to their hollow construction. The pair weighs approximately 13.1 grams, giving them a quality, substantial feel on the ear.
Each earring is marked 925 on the back, confirming sterling silver content, and features a secure clip-on closure with a comfortable padded lever. The organic, flowing form and mixed-metal detail give them a timeless appeal that works beautifully with both vintage and contemporary wardrobes, and they pair especially well with minimalist, mid-century, or Mexican sterling-inspired pieces. The exact maker and production date are unknown due to the absence of a hallmark, but the construction and style suggest a vintage piece from the 1960s through 1980s.
Condition is vintage and pre-owned with age-appropriate tarnish and patina to the silver, particularly in the recessed ribbed areas, which adds to their character. The gold-tone wire shows light wear consistent with age. Both clips are secure and fully functional, and the earrings are ready to wear as found or can be gently polished if a brighter finish is preferred.
