How do clip on earrings stay secure?

These pieces utilise hinged omega backs or adjustable screw mechanisms that press gently against the back of the earlobe. This engineering provides a firm grip without requiring a pierced hole, allowing heavier gemstone clusters to remain upright.

What periods do these earrings cover?

The available selection spans designs from the 1930s Art Deco era through the 1940s and 1950s into 1960s Mid-Century Modernism. Each decade brought distinct shifts in silhouette, moving from geometric lines to organic, sculptural forms.

Are original presentation boxes common?

Certain pieces retain their original fitted boxes from the maker or retailer, adding historical context to the jewellery. Such packaging usually displays the house name or logo inside the lid.

Can screw back earrings be adjusted?

The small threaded screw allows the wearer to control the exact pressure applied to the lobe. This adjustability accommodates different thicknesses of tissue for comfortable all-day wear.
