Vintage Sculptural Copper & Brass Statement Earrings | Brutalist Art Jewelry
Description
Striking vintage statement earrings crafted in hand-hammered copper with brass edging, designed in an organic, sculptural form inspired by natural shapes. The softly contoured, asymmetrical silhouettes and visible hammer marks give each earring a one-of-a-kind feel, emphasizing the artistry behind their construction.
The warm copper body contrasts beautifully with the golden brass border, creating depth, texture, and an earthy elegance characteristic of late 1970s–1980s studio jewelry. These earrings reflect the brutalist and organic modernist movement, where jewelry was created as wearable sculpture rather than ornament alone.
Bold yet grounded, these earrings are designed to anchor a look—effortlessly pairing with linen, leather, knits, or minimalist silhouettes.
Details:
Era: c. late 1970s–1980s
Style: Brutalist / Organic Modernist
Materials: Copper, brass
Light to medium in weight
2.5 inch length
Finish: Hand-hammered with natural patina
Closure: Clip-on (or post, if applicable)
Markings: None noted
Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina consistent with copper and brass
A powerful, sculptural pair for collectors of artisan vintage jewelry or anyone drawn to bold, tactile statement pieces with soul.
