Vintage Black Earrings

Black in vintage jewelry is the color of sophistication — the black of jet beads in Victorian mourning jewelry, of onyx in Art Deco cocktail rings, of the little black dress that has been the foundation of every stylish woman's wardrobe since Coco Chanel. These earrings feature black elements — possibly onyx, black crystal, or black enamel — in a vintage-style sterling silver setting, the deep, light-absorbing black and the bright, light-reflecting silver creating a contrast that is graphic, modern, and timeless.

• Black elements — onyx, black crystal, or enamel — in vintage-style settings
• Sterling silver with antique finish
• Hand-formed sterling silver ear wires
• Nickel-free and hypoallergenic

Black earrings are the earrings that go with everything because black goes with everything — they are the visual anchor, the grounding presence, the neutral that makes every other color look more intentional. Style them with anything. A piece for the woman whose aesthetic runs to the clean, the sophisticated, the things that do not need to be colorful to be interesting.
