Art Deco Fan Earrings

Our art deco fan earrings take the fan, one of the favorite shapes of 1920s design, and turn it into a pair of gold-tone studs set with a square stone. You choose between a black stone and a clear one (listed as white in the options). The metal is zinc alloy and the posts close with push-back fittings. They sit with the other pieces in our 1920s jewelry.

The Fan Motif in Art Deco Earrings

Fans, sunbursts and stepped shapes were everywhere in Art Deco, from building facades and radiator grilles to powder compacts and evening bags. A fan earring nods to that geometry without needing a full costume, so it works with a modern black dress as easily as with a beaded flapper shift.

Black or Clear: Pairing the Fan Earrings

The black stone gives strong contrast against gold-tone metal and suits black, red or emerald outfits, as well as a Gatsby party look with a feather headband. The clear stone is lighter and goes with pastels, white and champagne, which makes it a thoughtful bridesmaid gift for a 1920s-themed wedding. Keep other jewelry simple: a thin bangle or a single ring is enough.

Art Deco Earrings FAQ

Are they solid metal or plated?

They are zinc alloy with a gold-tone finish. The supplier lists no precious metal, so treat them as fashion jewelry.

Are these clip-ons?

No, they are studs for pierced ears, with push-back closures.

Is the white option white or clear?

In the photos the stone on the white option looks clear rather than opaque white. If you need a solid white, look closely at the product photos before choosing.
