Description

View Vintage 800 Silver Brutalist Modernist Art Glass Dangle Clip Earrings 2.5" with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The earrings have a distinctly Brutalist / Organic Modernist character. Suspended below are clusters of pale faceted glass beads followed by a large frosted translucent bead crowned with wonderfully irregular, almost molten-looking silverwork. Exceptional vintage clip-on earrings featuring an unusual articulated Modernist design combining sculptural silverwork, translucent glass elements, faceted beads, and dramatic organic drop construction. The earrings have a distinctly Brutalist / Organic Modernist character. Each begins with a softly translucent taupe-gray inset surrounded by an irregular sculptural silver frame with branching abstract details. Suspended below are clusters of pale faceted glass beads followed by a large frosted translucent bead crowned with wonderfully irregular, almost molten-looking silverwork. The elaborate construction gives the earrings movement, texture, and an unmistakably hand-worked studio-jewelry appearance. No maker's mark has been located. The metal has been acid tested alongside a known 800 silver reference piece, with the reaction consistent with approximately 800 silver. Because the earrings are unmarked, the silver fineness is being represented based on testing rather than a stamped hallmark. At approximately 2 1/2 inches long, these have substantial visual presence while remaining highly wearable. The pair weighs approximately 20.82 grams total. Their sculptural construction fits beautifully with Brutalist, European Modernist, Organic Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian-inspired, Artisan, Wearable Art, and collector studio-jewelry aesthetics.
