Additional Information

These oversized geometric earrings are a hallmark of Organic Modernism—a style blending clean lines with natural materials. Popular in the late 1960s and 70s, wooden accessories like these were often hand-carved in the Philippines and exported in bulk to North America. The exaggerated size and sculptural form align with the era’s affinity for “statement” pieces, while the organic grain keeps the visual weight grounded. Items like this were often sold in boutiques alongside Lucite bangles and woven leather bags.
