About the Item

These late 1940s-1950s Mid Century Retro Rocket Age dangle earrings exude some space age vibes. The sleek, 14k yellow gold flexible snake chains are topped with a modernist, twisted cap and are terminated by rocket cone inspired tips. Secured by closures for non-pierced ears, these clip on drop earrings can be modified for by adding a post if desired. Their design hails from an era when space exploration was at the forefront of history; think Sputnik.
