K. Kord Sculpted Face Gold Earclips United States, Circa 1990

A distinctive pair of K. Kord earclips, crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, featuring sculptural faces set within softly domed square forms. The stylized mask-like motif reflects the designer’s modernist aesthetic, blending playful artistic expression with strong geometric structure.

The slightly oxidized recessed areas emphasize the carved facial features and surrounding decorative borders, creating depth and contrast against the polished gold surface. Compact yet substantial, the earrings demonstrate the bold, sculptural approach characteristic of American studio jewelry of the late twentieth century.

Their unusual figural design gives the pair a strong visual identity, making them both collectible and highly wearable statement earrings.
