These very long, chrome earrings have a strikingly atomic design. Though later than the 1950s, these earrings are very reminiscent of that period. They have a great combination of contrasting shapes and lots of movement. These are clipbacks and could be converted. 3 1/4 inches long but light on the ears and so very comfortable to wear (and get lots of comments.) Not for the timid)! Really great look, very striking. (forgive my photos - these were hard to shoot)
