These vintage earrings are crafted in silver with a bold, open construction. Each earring is built from overlapping rectangular forms, softly curved and cut through with oval openings. The layered shapes create depth and movement, while the polished surface reflects the light across the raised edges and inner curves. Despite their size, the openwork keeps them light and airy to wear.
They fasten with studs and fall close to the ear, creating a compact sculptural silhouette with a strong graphic feel. From different angles, the shapes shift between sharp lines and soft curves, giving the earrings a lively expression.
They have a playful 1970s feel — perfect for adding shine, shape and personality to everything from a black roll-neck and oversized blazer to a silk dress or sharp evening tailoring.
