Art Deco Earrings

Art deco earrings take their cue from the geometric design of the 1920s: fans, straight lines, stepped outlines and strict symmetry. This page brings together rhinestone, black and costume styles made to sit next to a flapper dress or a Gatsby party look. For necklaces, headbands and more, see all our 1920s jewelry.

Art Deco Costume Earrings, Honestly Described

These are costume earrings, made to look the part rather than to be fine jewelry. Expect rhinestones instead of precious stones, and metal finishes described as gold-tone or silver-tone. That keeps them friendly on the budget and lets you match a pair to one specific outfit without worrying about losing an heirloom on the dance floor.

The product photos show the finish of each pair, so check whether it is gold-tone or silver-tone before matching it to your dress or headband.

Rhinestones for an Art Deco Diamond Earrings Look

Fine jewelry of the 1920s favored long, geometric earrings set with white stones. Rhinestones recreate that sparkle at a costume price, which makes sense for a party, a themed wedding or a photo shoot. Clear stones go with almost any dress color, while black accents give a sharper, more graphic contrast against gold sequins or silver sequins.

Art Deco Bridal Earrings for a 1920s Wedding

For a bride or bridesmaid with a 1920s theme, art deco earrings bring in the period without a full costume. Choose a pair that echoes the dress: clear rhinestones next to beading or sequins, a simpler shape next to lace or satin. With a short bob or an updo, earrings show clearly; with loose hair, a bolder pair is easier to see.
