Vintage Matisse by Renoir Confetti Enamel Copper Clip-On Earrings | Mid-Century Modern Abstract Jewelry | 1950s Wearable Art
These authentic vintage Matisse by Renoir clip-on earrings are a striking example of mid-century modern copper and enamel jewelry, dating to the 1950s–early 1960s. Crafted by Matisse Ltd., the enameled line of Renoir of California, these earrings embody the bold, artistic spirit that made the brand a standout in postwar American design.
The earrings feature a solid copper base overlaid with a vibrant speckled enamel design, often referred to by collectors as "confetti," "millefiori," or abstract art enamel. Rich tones of red, green, yellow, and black are sealed beneath a sculptural copper overlay, creating depth, texture, and visual movement. The geometric square form is quintessentially mid-century, making these earrings both timeless and highly collectible.
Designed as clip-on earrings, they are comfortable to wear and ideal for both vintage enthusiasts and modern stylists seeking statement jewelry. Produced between 1952 and 1964, Matisse pieces are now regarded as wearable art, celebrated for their craftsmanship, durability, and iconic design language.
