In the 1950s, clip-on earrings were the accessory of the moment – ​​elegant enough for Grace Kelly, practical enough for any woman who didn't want to mess around with pins on top of curlers and petticoats. Large clips like these added a touch of glamour when the hairstyle was perfect and the lipstick was Carmine Red .

From a fashion history perspective, clip-on earrings played a central role, particularly from the 1950s to the 1970s. During this period, many women's hairstyles were voluminous, pinned up, or heavily teased – from the elegant chignon to the glamorous beehive. Piercing earrings were less common, so clip-on earrings were considered an elegant solution for wearing eye-catching jewelry without pierced earlobes. Large clip-on earrings harmonized perfectly with fashionable hairstyles and effectively framed the face.
