Platinum and 18K Gold Wave Motif Earclips, circa 1960s

A pair of 1960s earclips combining platinum and 18K yellow gold in a diamond-shaped, wave-cut design with alternating bands of high-polish platinum and gold curve across the face, with the contrast between the two metals doing the work rather than any applied texture. A small squared gold cabochon sits at the center where the bands converge.

Two-tone platinum and gold work was a hallmark of mid-century design, prized for the contrast between platinum's cool white tone and gold's warmth in a single piece.

Measuring 28mm, the earrings have a compact, geometric presence. Fitted with 18K gold omega backs and posts.
