Additional Information

The sculptural, crescent-forward design fits squarely within the Mod movement of the 1960s—favoring geometry, futurism, and stark metallic finishes. The screw-back closures also help date the piece, as these were commonly used in mid-century costume and sterling jewelry prior to the dominance of pierced posts in the 1970s. The rounded crescent hoop form was a popular shape during the Space Age fashion era, reflecting atomic curves and architectural minimalism. While unmarked beyond the metal content, earrings like these were frequently sold in department stores or regional boutiques catering to trend-conscious women seeking statement pieces without gemstone embellishment.
