These half-round earrings with a matte finish are very typical of the “mid-century modern” design aesthetic. The “ brushed gold-tone” finish is a common finish in 1950s-1960s costume jewelry, intended to give the appearance of gold without the shine. The tapered platform with a “trumpet” spring baseis one of the design features found in higher-end manufacturers (e.g.Napier,Coro,Ciner), but was also used in anonymous collections.This mechanism was especially popular amongAmerican costume jewelryin the mid-20th century.
