Harriet Bauknight Orange Lucite Rectangular Vintage Jewel Clip On Earrings 1980s
These vintage 1980s Harriet Bauknight clip-on earrings are an unmistakable signature of the designer’s brand and modernist collection. Hand-carved from orange acrylic, their beveled geometric forms feature sharp angles and generous beveling that catch and reflect the light from every direction. A hidden internal mirror layer at the back creates the striking illusion that the earrings glow from within. Each sculptural orange jewel is anchored to a light grey rectangular acrylic background plate and finished with Harriet Bauknight’s signature 360-degree rotating gold-tone clip mechanism. Bold yet artful, they make a distinctive statement with tailored jackets, silk blouses, or eveningwear.
Style these bold orange earrings with a black Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo jacket and a simple white silk blouse for a striking contrast, or pair them with a cream Chanel bouclé jacket and tailored black trousers for a polished vintage-inspired look. For an expressive evening outfit, wear them with a sleek Gucci black dress and a structured clutch; the earrings’ geometric shape adds color without competing with the silhouette. They also pair beautifully with a Givenchy minimalist sheath dress or a Christian Dior tailored jacket and pencil skirt. For a more relaxed look, combine them with a crisp white shirt, straight-leg dark denim, and a structured leather bag. Keep other jewelry minimal so the earrings’ carved bevels, reflective details, and glowing orange color remain the focal point.
