14K Vintage 1960’s Gold Scallop Shell Stud Earrings

Some designs never fade — they simply shimmer through the decades.
These exquisite 14K vintage 1960’s gold scallop shell earrings capture the essence of mid-century glamour in their purest form: clean lines, luminous polish, and just the right touch of sculptural detail.

Golden Grace from a Bygone Era

Shaped like softly curved seashells, these earrings embody the beauty of ocean-inspired design that flourished in the 1960’s. The era’s jewelry often reflected nature’s form — seashells, leaves, and waves — reimagined in radiant gold. These earrings are a stunning example of that artistry.

Each earring features a high-polish 14K gold finish with smooth ridges that catch and reflect the light beautifully. The shell design flows organically, lending the illusion of movement even when still. Their three-dimensional curvature creates both elegance and presence, while the stud style ensures a perfectly timeless fit.

Effortless Elegance, Day or Night

At just 1.3 grams, these lightweight earrings are as comfortable as they are captivating. Their classic 2 cm size offers noticeable sparkle without overpowering — the ideal balance of subtle and striking.

Wear them with a crisp blouse and pearls for a vintage-inspired daytime look, or pair them with soft waves and evening satin for a golden glow that feels straight out of the Riviera. These earrings transition effortlessly from boardroom to ballroom, embodying the sophistication that defined 1960’s luxury.

Mid-Century Craftsmanship

In the 1960’s, jewelry was designed to last — not just in form, but in spirit. The scallop shell motif symbolizes both femininity and strength, an enduring emblem of beauty drawn from nature. Handcrafted in solid 14K yellow gold, these earrings are more than accessories — they’re heirlooms, meant to be worn and loved for generations.

The subtle domed shape hugs the ear gracefully, while the polished finish adds warmth and light to every complexion. A secure stud post and butterfly back ensure comfort and confidence all day long.
