West Germany Flower Earrings White Black Enamel Vintage Clip On Daisy 1950s

Description

View West Germany Flower Earrings White Black Enamel Vintage Clip On Daisy 1950s with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The crisp white petals and dark centers give these an especially versatile look—part daisy, part mod graphic flower. The backs are fitted with classic gold-tone clip-on findings, and one finding appears signed W GERMANY. These charming mid-century flower earrings have a wonderfully graphic black-and-white look. Each dimensional bloom is constructed with overlapping white metal petals surrounding a raised dark domed center, while hand-painted black accents give the petals a playful, almost illustrated appearance. The layered construction creates substantial depth rather than the flatter silhouette seen on many floral earrings. The backs are fitted with classic gold-tone clip-on findings, and one finding appears signed W GERMANY. West German costume jewelry from the postwar period is especially associated with inventive floral designs, molded and painted components, dimensional construction, and bold color combinations. The materials, layered flower construction, painted detailing, and clip hardware are consistent with approximately the 1950s to early 1960s. The crisp white petals and dark centers give these an especially versatile look—part daisy, part mod graphic flower. They bridge the feminine floral jewelry of the 1950s with the increasingly bold black-and-white fashion aesthetic that became prominent moving into the 1960s. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It Signed W Germany construction adds desirable mid-century provenance. Dramatic black and white coloring makes the flowers exceptionally wearable. Layered petals create wonderful three-dimensional depth on the ear. A fabulous example of whimsical postwar West German costume jewelry. The classic flower design works beautifully with both vintage and modern wardrobes. Condition Good vintage condition with visible age-related wear. The white finish shows scattered discoloration, surface marks, darkening and areas of finish wear, particularly around the petal edges and backs. The gold-tone clip findings show oxidation, patina and finish wear consistent with age. The hand-painted black detailing has some irregularity and wear. Please review the photographs closely, as the existing patina is part of the earrings’ vintage character. Clip mechanisms are present. Measurements Each earring measures approximately 1 1/4 inches across, or approximately 3.2 cm. The quarter shown in the photographs is for scale.
