Originally these were screw-backs (hello, vintage authenticity), but they've been expertly converted to posts because comfort matters when you're wearing art on your ears. The textured gold surfaces catch light from every angle, creating this amazing interplay of shadows and shine that changes as you move. And those emeralds? They're like little jewels hidden in a golden landscape.
Brutalism isn't for everyone, but that's exactly what makes it so special. This movement was all about raw beauty, organic forms, and celebrating materials in their most honest state. These earrings embody that philosophy perfectly - they're bold without being overwhelming, artistic without being pretentious, and completely unique in a world full of cookie-cutter jewelry.
If you've been playing it safe with your earring choices, these might just be the pieces that change everything. They work with a simple black dress for maximum drama, or throw them on with jeans and a vintage band tee for that perfect high-low mix.

Beautifully preserved with all the character you want from vintage pieces. The conversion from screw-backs to posts has been done professionally with secure, comfortable posts and backs. The textured gold surfaces show the original craftsmanship beautifully, and all stones are secure and bright.
