These earrings are marked “LANCER–II©”, and their shape and finish are reminiscent of a distinctly modernist, almost brutalist style that was popular around 1970–1980. “ Lancer II ” was an American jewelry brand, most commonly found in 1970–1980 fashion jewelry. They produced more massive, geometric or irregular designs, often with sculptural metal surfaces rather than crystals or enamel. These are abstract, irregular circles, reminiscent of organic shapes – very characteristic of 1970–1980 modernism.
