Vintage Sterling Silver Brass Ear Clip Earrings

Trade In
Details

This handsome pair of clip-on earrings showcases the rich two-tone aesthetic of mixed-metal Southwestern-style silversmithing, combining the cool gleam of sterling silver with the warm golden glow of brass. Each earring is built as an elongated, gently tapered tablet, slightly curved to follow the contour of the ear and substantial enough to make a confident statement. The upper portion features a striking applied brass motif of a stylized agave or yucca plant, its spiky leaves and budding stalk standing out in raised relief against a darkened, oxidized sterling silver background that throws the design into bold contrast. A row of finely applied silver beadwork forms a decorative border beneath the plant motif, separating it from the lower register where a smooth horizontal band of brass is accented with crescent-shaped stamped detailing reminiscent of traditional Southwestern silver stamping. The base of each earring is finished in plain polished sterling, lending visual balance and weight to the composition. The interplay of textures, from the matte oxidized field to the bright brass appliqué and beaded silver accents, demonstrates skilled handcraftsmanship and a thoughtful sense of design. The earrings are fitted with clip backs, ideal for non-pierced ears, and have pleasing heft that signals quality construction. Condition appears very good, with the brass and silver retaining strong color contrast and only light surface wear and gentle patina consistent with vintage age, which enhances the antiqued, artisan look. These earrings will appeal to collectors of Southwestern, Native American-style, and mixed-metal studio jewelry, as well as anyone drawn to bold botanical motifs and earthy two-tone palettes. Versatile yet distinctive, they complement both casual denim and dressier ensembles, bringing a touch of desert-inspired artistry and handcrafted warmth to any wardrobe. A wonderful find for lovers of expressive, sculptural vintage adornment.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
