These vintage earrings in silver feature clear rock crystal drops. Each earring presents a square rock crystal with a faceted front surface and a pyramid-shaped back. The stone is set in a minimal square frame with four corner prongs, suspended so the square hangs on point like a diamond. The drop connects to a small polished silver circle that rests against the earlobe. The earrings fasten as studs with posts.
When worn, the crystal sits just below the lobe and catches the light, creating sharp reflections within the facets, while the silver circle provides a simple, modern anchor for the design.
Did you know that Wiwen Nilsson was the designer who introduced the cross as a fashion piece of jewelry in the 1930s?
