Circa 1950 Platinum Fifties Diamond Earclips with 18K White Gold Fittings

These are not earclips that disappear into the background. Made around 1950, their curling platinum forms take the crisp glamour of Art Deco and give it a more playful Fifties rhythm. Two round brilliant-cut diamonds anchor a shimmering scatter of smaller stones. Meant to be worn, they make a modest yet unmistakable statement: compact in scale, but full of sparkle and character.
