Vintage mid-century costume jewelry, featuring six pairs of distinct clip-on earrings. Spanning from the 1950s mod era to the 1970s retro period, this lot offers a versatile mix of textures, colors, and geometric styles perfect for collectors or daily vintage wear.Item Specifications & BreakdownPair 1 (Top Left): Oval green faux-jade cabochons set in an openwork, scalloped gold-tone frame.Pair 2 (Center Left): Mid-century modern square tiles with a black-and-white granite/speckled stone finish.Pair 3 (Bottom Left): Intricate cluster earrings featuring vibrant blue focal beads, dark accent beads, and silver-tone metal leaf accents.Pair 4 (Top Right): Domed button earrings with a striking black-and-white radial swirl pattern trimmed in gold-tone metal.Pair 5 (Bottom Right): 1960s Mod style white daisy/flower earrings with a raised smooth central cabochon.Pair 6 (Background Top): Elaborate gold-tone openwork filigree floral statement earrings with tiny textured petals. The Cluster Style: The blue and silver floral cluster pair is highly characteristic of mid-century imports from West Germany and Japan during the 1950s. Designers in these regions specialized in hand-wired glass bead and filigree clusters that became staples of the American costume jewelry market.The Mod Era: The white daisy pair and the geometric granite squares perfectly capture the 1960s Mod movement, where traditional fine jewelry lookalikes were replaced by bold, graphic plastics and playful nature motifs popularized by designers like Mary Quant.Maker Marks: These pieces appear to be unsigned beauties, which was highly common for boutique department store lines of the mid-20th century that relied on high-quality manufacturing without proprietary branding.
