About the Item

These vintage silver dangling earrings feature a bold, sculptural design. They begin with smooth, oval studs that secure with classic butterfly backs, followed by elongated, slightly curved elements that widen before extending into an open, asymmetrical shape at the bottom. The subtly hammered surface adds depth and texture, enhancing their artistic quality. With their modern yet timeless aesthetic, these earrings stand out as a striking example of minimalist, sculptural jewelry. Sport these striking Manhattan earrings at a gallery opening to complement the artful ambiance, or let them be the conversation starter at your next rooftop cocktail party. Did you know that it was Björn Weckström's necklace Planetoid Valleys and Darina's Bracelet, made in 1969, that Princess Leia wore in the first Star Wars film in 1977?
