These 1940 mid-century earrings take the form of screw-back earrings fashioned from 9ct white gold and set with oval-cut red rubies. Each piece displays a four-prong setting holding the gemstone alongside a curved screw-back mechanism designed for non-pierced ears. The silver metalwork contrasts with the vibrant red stones, showing polished surfaces and delicate prong terminals on the gemstone mounts. Each earring measures 1.3 cm high by 0.6 cm wide by 1.6 cm deep. Suited for personal adornment, these earrings sit comfortably on the earlobe and integrate into a jewellery collection for daily wear or special occasions. Their classic construction ensures they complement various outfits while remaining securely fastened through the adjustable screw mechanism.

FAQs

Screw-back earring mechanisms were patented in the late nineteenth century and became widely popular during the early-to-mid twentieth century as a comfortable alternative for unpierced ears.

Fine gemstone earrings of this style typically feature hallmarked gold alloys, such as 9ct or 18ct white or yellow gold, paired with claw or bezel-set natural or synthetic rubies.

Authenticity can be verified by checking for official fineness hallmarks stamped on the screw fitting, inspecting the threaded components for age-consistent wear, and testing the gemstones with standard gemmological equipment.

Gemstone stud earrings provide a subtle colour accent that pairs easily with modern tailored daywear, understated evening attire, or complementary white gold and platinum accessories.

Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled toothbrush, taking care to clear debris from around the claw settings and ensure the threaded screw mechanism remains clean and functional.
