Vintage 1960s Black Gold-Tone Enamel Clip-On Earrings Floral Leaf Faux Pearl Pin

Black guilloche enamel on a floral clip-on is harder to find than the plain gold variety.

A mid-century pair in gold-tone metal, with three-petal floral leaves filled in deep navy-black guilloche enamel. A small faux pearl sits at the centre of each flower, adding a cream accent to the dark ground.

The clip-on mechanism is a flat paddle style — the type that pinches rather than digs, which tends to be more comfortable for extended wear than some period clips.

Small enough to wear with a collar or high neckline, where the black-and-gold contrast reads crisply. Works as easily with a black dress as with a cream or white blouse. The scale is earring-sized rather than statement — wearable for day or evening without overpowering.
