The size of these earrings is difficult to imagine. When worn, they hug the angle of the jaw, then curve up and back, extending well beyond the back of the ear. The style is Brutalist, with a darkened silver color, and a rough beaten surface. The shape is a spiral of open segments, similar to the shell of a nautilus or an ammonite, but the overall appearance is akin to sweeping wings. Given their great size, these earrings are surprisingly well balanced and comfortable to wear. They do not feel heavy or distracting. Clip backs hold well. Despite their evident quality, these beautiful earrings are not marked.
Measure 1-1/2 × 2-1/2 inches.
Excellent vintage condition.
