Vintage ART Rhinestone Ribbon Clip-On Earrings – Arthur Pepper Signed, 1950s–1960s

Signed ART by Arthur Pepper, these elegant mid-century clip-on earrings exemplify the refined glamour and craftsmanship that made Pepper’s designs highly collectible. Created in the late 1950s to early 1960s, this pair reflects the golden era of American costume jewelry—where sculptural form and luminous stonework were paramount.

Each earring features a graceful ribbon motif crowned with sparkling marquise-cut (navette) rhinestones and brilliant round rhinestones below. The stones are original foil-backed, enhancing their depth and brilliance, and are securely prong-set in a polished silver-tone setting that remains bright and crisp.

This is a beautifully preserved example of ART design, offering both visual impact and collector appeal.
