1960s Gold-Tone Pentagon Box-Chain Earrings with Tortoiseshell Glass & Rhinestones

Graphic and wonderfully unusual, these 1960s gold-tone earrings feature a distinctive pentagonal silhouette framed in box chain, creating a bold geometric border. At the center sits richly patterned tortoiseshell-effect glass, while a sparkling rhinestone stud crowns the design for an unexpected touch of glamour.

The 1960s saw costume jewelers experimenting with strong geometric forms, chain detailing, and glass created to imitate luxurious natural materials. Tortoiseshell-patterned glass offered the warmth and visual depth of the traditional material while lending itself beautifully to modern statement jewelry.

Distinctive and highly collectible, these tortoiseshell glass earrings combine graphic geometry, textural gold-tone chain, and rhinestone sparkle for a fabulous example of 1960s costume jewelry.
