"These 1980s vintage clip-on earrings feature a circular black velvet button base accented by a structured, half-moon grid of silver-tone bugle beads. Offering a bold, architectural aesthetic, these statement earrings provide a tactile contrast between the soft velvet and the sharp, linear quality of the beads. Measuring approximately 1 inch in diameter, the pieces are constructed with secure, functional silver-tone clip-back hardware. The earrings appear in very good vintage condition; the velvet remains clean with no visible wear, and all bugle beads are intact. These are a striking example of 1980s costume jewelry design, perfect for adding a touch of graphic edge to a tailored look. All vintage sales are final.
