The devil is in the details, as they say, and no truly mid 20th century inspired ensemble is complete without the right finishing touches. For fifties pin-up looks with a nautical bent, be they rockabilly or more classic, these Nautical Stud Earrings from Urban Outfitters have the ideal subtle edge.
The mini gold-look studs – featuring anchor, sailboat and seashell designs – may be small but they can provide an ideal understated finish for any fifties look, day or night. Ideal to mix and match for more up-to-date rockabilly and psychobilly styles, too.

Available as a pair of simple stud earrings or a small pendant necklace, the jewels are made from plastic buttons in an edible shade of gingerbread brown. Thanks to their simple and light materials, they're a bit of a bargain to boot.

These earrings retail at £415 from Matches Fashion. More from Susan Caplan Vintage is available on the site.
