About the Item
Statement-making and highly collectible, these dramatic vintage 1980s large black wood clip-on earrings by Danish design house Monies embody the bold, sculptural aesthetic that defined the brand’s rise to global cult status. Crafted in a striking organic crescent shape, the earrings are hand-carved from lightweight black wood and finished with gleaming silver-tone clip backs marked MONIES.
Known for its use of natural materials and architectural forms, Monies was founded in 1973 by Gerda and Nikolai Monies and gained prominence in the 1980s for its avant-garde jewelry that blurred the line between fashion and art. These earrings exemplify the Monies ethos: minimalist, sculptural, and unmistakably modern.
Ideal for both daytime statement dressing and evening drama, the earrings can be styled with everything from crisp tailored blazers to minimalist dresses or layered bohemian looks. Their matte black finish makes them versatile for monochromatic and high-contrast palettes alike.
These rare vintage earrings are a must-have for collectors of postmodern, Memphis Milano-inspired, or Scandinavian design-forward jewelry.
The Marion Clayden ivory silk cut velvet ensemble, and the olive Manolo Blahnik alligator heels are also available in my 1stdibs Shop.
