These solid brass earrings are every bit as glamorous as the Art Deco designs that inspired them. Alluding to the precise geometric motifs of machine age metalwork, these lightweight studs add just the right amount of modern shine ("Like the top of the Chrysler Building!") to outfits, casual and formal alike.
