These mid-century modern earrings date from 1950 and take the form of a matching pair of cluster studs. Fashioned from 18ct yellow and white gold, each piece displays a central claw-set green emerald surrounded by radiating gold bars tipped with sparkling round diamonds. The spoked wheel wirework design creates a distinct starburst silhouette, complemented by standard post and scroll backings for pierced ears. The metals exhibit polished gold and white gold finishes, while the emeralds and diamonds provide contrasting green and colourless tones. Well-suited for formal evening wear or elevated everyday accessorising, these earrings bring a touch of vintage flair to modern jewellery collections. They attach securely to the lobes via peg and scroll fittings. The gross weight of the pair sits at 5.4 grams, with individual emeralds measuring 3.3 mm and diamond weights totalling 1.35 carats alongside 0.25 carats of emeralds. The earrings are compact in scale, measuring roughly 2 cm across each starburst cluster. They transition seamlessly from daytime professional attire to sophisticated dinner gatherings when worn on the ears.

FAQs

Mid-Century Modern jewellery from the 1950s and 1960s often incorporates abstract, asymmetric, or starburst shapes inspired by the Space Age and natural forms. Designs frequently combine high-karat gold with textured wirework, claw-set gemstones, and radiating clusters of diamonds.

Pieces from this era typically feature 18ct or 14ct yellow gold settings, combined with precious gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires, or rubies. Diamonds are frequently set as surrounding accents to enhance the light performance and contrast of the central coloured stones.

Authentic mid-century gold earrings feature era-specific hallmarks indicating metal purity, alongside hand-finished claw settings and solid wirework construction. The reverse side usually demonstrates cast or assembled structural gallery work rather than hollow modern stamping.

These structured stud earrings suit both tailored daywear and formal evening attire due to their compact footprint and strong geometric profile. The combination of green emeralds and yellow gold provides a focal point that coordinates well with neutral tones and classic tailoring.

Emeralds are sensitive to thermal shock and harsh chemicals, so they should be cleaned gently using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. Store them in a lined jewellery box separated from other pieces to prevent the diamonds from scratching softer gemstones.
