Then gently close the clip to keep everything in place. The wing distributes pressure evenly, giving you a snug, pinch-free fit that stays put all day. Try them once, and you’ll understand why vintage fans love this clever design.Wingback earrings were developed by Judith McCann in the 1950s.  Looking for a more comfortable style she created the style with tiny “wings” that slipped over the curve of the ear.  Read our blog post on Judith McCann and wingback earrings. HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE JEWELRY How to Care for Vintage JewelryAlways handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.Buy our favorite jewelry cleaner here. SHIPPING & RETURNS We ship items within five business days.
