About the Item

Bold Gold was the massive trend that Robert Lee Morris started in the 1980's and these bold swinging earrings are proof of that. A concave triangular top supports a wide curving triangular arc with a big opening. the positive/negative space interplay is the key part of this dramatic design. Clip earrings these are super fun to wear out dancing or dining in style. The rich 24k gold plated brass castings are lightweight but impressive in their scale. Runway earrings, favorite of fashion editors everywhere in the 80's, loved to shoot these earrings because of their strong graphic appeal and high spirited personality.
