{"product_id":"vintage-sterling-silver-clip-earrings-modernist-ribbed-gold-accent","title":"Vintage Sterling Silver Clip Earrings - Modernist Ribbed Gold Accent","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Hollow 925 sterling silver with applied gold-tone twisted wire accent\u003cbr\u003eMark: 925 stamped on back of each earring; no maker's hallmark\u003cbr\u003eSize: Approx. 1.25 inches tall x .8 inches wide each earring\u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 13.1 grams total for the pair\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Vintage modernist statement clip-on earrings with sculptural ribbed wave design\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Clip-on backs with padded comfort lever\u003cbr\u003eEra: Vintage, likely 1960s–1980s; exact age unknown\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Age-appropriate tarnish and patina; clips secure and functional; light wear to gold-tone accent\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Hollow form for lightweight wear despite substantial size","brand":"Bent Ear Jewelry \u0026 Curios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49783451943149,"sku":null,"price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/4242\/4557\/files\/4b1fa47c-1854-4be9-ada8-cc6286562507.jpg?v=1776195042","url":"https:\/\/www.bentear.shop\/products\/vintage-sterling-silver-clip-earrings-modernist-ribbed-gold-accent","provider":"Bent Ear Jewelry \u0026 Curios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
