These earrings stand out with their organic shape, dark green glass inserts and strong inspiration from retro brutalism and “mid-century modern” style. The stones look like “molten glass / poured glass”, with a loose, irregular shape. Such glass elements were often used in the 1950-1960s. Additional stones: small green crystals on the sides. The metal is heavily patinated, darkened, with an expressive, sculptural texture. Clasp: classic “round hole” (round hole paddle back) clip - typical of the 1950-1960s. Back: handmade impression with cross fastening, no marking, but this is not necessarily a negative sign. The design of the earrings can be associated with designers such as Robert, Judy Lee, Art, or even the unmarked Florenza. It is also possible that this is a “mid-century” piece of German or Austrian origin. Brutalist form, heavy structure, very close to studio work or even artistic jewelry of the mid-20th century.
