A pair of vintage clip-on earrings by Whiting & Davis, featuring polished hematite-tone cabochons set in gold-tone metal frames with decorative edging.
The mirrored dark stone surface creates a strong contrast with the gold-tone setting, giving the earrings a refined and sculptural presence. Their oval form and raised profile reflect the bold elegance often associated with mid-century costume jewelry.
The central stones appear to be hematite or hematite-style glass cabochons, highly polished for a reflective, almost mirror-like finish. The surrounding gold-tone mount is detailed with a textured border and ornamental gallery edge, adding depth and craftsmanship to the design. The color sits beautifully between gold and silver, shifting subtly depending on the light and creating a soft metallic glow. The reverse is fitted with secure clip-on backs, signed Whiting & Davis Co, with patent marking visible.
Founded in 1876, Whiting & Davis is an American heritage brand best known for its fine metalwork and iconic mesh handbags. Over the decades, the company also became highly regarded for its elegant costume jewelry, combining quality craftsmanship with bold, timeless design. Their vintage pieces are especially appreciated for their distinctive style and collectible character.
