These spectacular signed Charlin earrings capture the dramatic glamour of mid-century evening jewelry, crafted with oversized dome-set clear rhinestones that shimmer from every angle. Each earring features a brilliant rhinestone cluster at the ear, from which a delicate chain suspends a large orb encrusted with faceted stones. The effect is bold yet elegant—an iconic cocktail-era silhouette associated with luxury costume houses of the 1950s and early 1960s.

Oscar Charlin jewelry was created by Allen Nathan Charlin, who founded the Oscar Charlin Co. in Beverly Hills in 1955 and named the firm after his father. Operating for roughly a decade, the company produced high-quality costume jewelry using metal alloys, silver- or gold-tone finishes, and brilliant rhinestones and Aurora Borealis crystals. Because the company’s output was relatively limited, surviving pieces are now considered vintage rarities.

Some Oscar Charlin designs were manufactured by DeLizza & Elster (D&E), the celebrated makers behind Juliana jewelry. Their dimensional construction, dramatic rhinestone use, and mid-century sparkle are hallmarks that make Charlin pieces especially appealing to collectors today.
