A Legacy of Green: Circa-1950 Cocktail Earrings

A Legacy of Green: Circa-1950 Cocktail Earrings

There are pieces in vintage jewelry that whisper stories before you even put them on. These Circa-1950 Vintage Green Cocktail Earrings—with their lush, layered greens and chic clip-on design—are exactly that kind of piece.

A Touch of Mid-Century Sophistication

Crafted in the post-war Retro period (roughly the late 1940s to early 1950s), these earrings capture a moment when jewelry was more than adornment—it was a statement. Think “Hollywood glamour meets everyday elegance”: bold floral motifs, fanciful silhouettes, and a celebration of brightness and renewal.

Whether worn for an evening soirée or a loved-one’s birthday, they elicit that head-turning “wow” effect—a playful glint in the light, a nod to another era’s grace.

Hand-Selected, Once-in-a-Lifetime Finds

Joleen travels the world with one mission: to rescue jewelry that’s peerless in history and personality. These earrings were chosen not just for beauty, but because they embody Rouge’s soul—a vintage gem with a story, worthy of being worn and remembered.

Why Green?

Green has always been the color of confidence, renewal, and quiet extravagance. In the 50s, glass and paste gems brilliantly mimicked precious emeralds—radiant, accessible, and always full of character. These earrings channel that elegant modernity: luxurious but spirited, refined but full of life.

Wear It. Remember It.

Wearing these earrings isn’t just about amping up an outfit—it’s about stepping into a legacy. Let them elevate your presence, spark conversations, and stand as a timeless nod to vintage beauty with enduring charm
