Growing Trend: Romance and Glamour of the 1940s. Earrings with a Vintage and Classic Look

Pierced earrings have been around for hundreds of years.  In fact, they are one of the earliest forms of body adornment.    The non-pierced alternative of clip on earrings was introduced in the 1930s, making pierced earrings nearly obsolete for a while because of this new, less permanent option.  At one point, women were exclusively wearing the clip on version of earrings.

The 1940s brought a style inspired by the sophisticated Hollywood starlets.   Judy Garland, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner and Elizabeth Taylor all encapsulated the glamour and class of the time.  An easy way to incorporate the romance and charm of the 1940s into your modern 2010 style is with the addition of vintage clip on earrings.  True vintage pieces are hard to find and can be quite pricey.  However you can now find beautiful, unique options that look like the real deal, without having to worry about losing or breaking a piece of history.

1940s jewelry is romantic, feminine, delicate and full of sparkle.   Some great antique-inspired clip on earring choices include elegant black chandeliers and dazzling diamond dangle clip earrings.  When choosing a vintage-looking piece, it is best to nab a pair that looks one-of-a-kind.  Antique screw earrings are another alternative for those looking for a non-pierced vintage look.  Those without pierced ears are in luck because vintage looks tend to come in mostly clip on and screw back earring options.

For a new, romantic and charming image in 2010, try a pair of 1940s-inspired clip on earrings.  Since clip on earrings are growing in popularity today, there are a number of different vintage looks that will cater to your personal style.  Once you are wearing your antique earrings, you will feel as if you have stepped into a scene with Humphrey Bogart in the classic romance, Casablanca.
