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)

This pair of earrings by master silversmith James Frappe have a convex shape with a botanical motif impressed in each corner. Hanging from the center is a hammered curved shaped with a coral colored stone bead suspended over it. I have seen a few pieces by Frappe who has been working for over 50 years and still teaching. These are screwback but could be converted. The squared shape is 3/4 x 3/4 and with the dangling pendant the earrings are 1 1/4" long.

These gold retro earrings have a well balanced composition of rounded shapes and contrasting colors. The gold swirling element ends in a curl and encompasses a beautiful moonstone with lovely adularescence (the glow,commonly associated with moonstones, that emanates from within the stone). Completing the gold curve are 3 small faceted rubies. The earrings have their original screw backs which can easily be changed. The earrings are in very fine condition. ...click for details
