Vintage 1980s Gold-Tone Pleated Fan Clip-On Drop Earrings Geometric Bold Costume

The pleated fan silhouette is one of the defining shapes of 1980s costume jewellery — bold, architectural, and immediately readable from across a room.

A pair of gold-tone clip-on drop earrings in a radiating fan form, each panel polished to a high shine. The structured pleating catches light at different angles as the earring moves, giving a dynamic effect despite the fixed metal construction. Clip closure with a round link connecting the fan to the ear fitting.

The size and weight are manageable for a clip-on — substantial without being cumbersome.

The fan shape works well with a wide collar, a bare shoulder, or a V-neckline — the geometry reads clearly against any plain ground. These suit occasion dressing but are not oversized enough to look costume-heavy in casual contexts. Clip-on fitting means no piercing required.
