These enchanting vintage clip-on earrings, likely from the late 1950s to early 1960s, feature a sculptural shell-inspired design in a rich gold-tone finish, adorned with clusters of faux pearls and turquoise glass beads. At the center, a raised faux pearl sits like a treasure within the textured, ridged setting—evoking the elegance of underwater relics or baroque fantasy.
Their mid-century craftsmanship is evident in both their form and materials, reflecting the era’s fascination with oceanic themes and bold costume jewelry. While they bear light signs of age and wear, these minor imperfections only enhance their story and charm, making them perfect for vintage lovers who appreciate patina and character. Comfortable clip-back closures make them easy to wear with no need for pierced ears.
