Art Deco Stud Earrings

Our Art Deco stud earrings are bold squares of stepped, ridged gold-tone metal framing a black acrylic center, the strong geometry you see on 1920s building facades and radio cabinets. Each one is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) square, with a flat back and a post.

How Large These Stud Earrings Are

An honest note: these are statement studs, not discreet ones. The pair weighs about 18.9 g, roughly 9.5 g per earring, so you will feel them by the end of an evening, and they suit earlobes used to heavier pieces. Wear them with hair pinned up or a short bob so the square shape stays visible.

Styling Black and Gold-Tone Earrings for a Gatsby Party

Black and gold is the core palette of a Gatsby party, so these studs slip into a black and gold sequin dress, a black velvet gown or a simple black jumpsuit for New Year's Eve. Because the shape is loud, keep the necklace thin or leave it off. More pieces from the era wait in our 1920s jewelry.

Square Stud Earrings FAQ

Is the black center enamel or onyx?

Neither. It is black acrylic set inside the gold-tone frame, which keeps the color deep and even.

Do they hang or sit flat?

They sit flat against the lobe on a post with a push-back closure. Nothing dangles.

Can I wear them every day?

You can, though because of their size and weight we save them for evenings, office parties and events where the jewelry is part of the outfit.
