The History of Kramer Clip on Earrings

Clip on earrings are an ideal solution if your ears are pierced. They provide a fast and convenient way to show off a pair of your favorite earrings without the hassle of attaching pins or hoops.

Kramer of New York, founded by Louis Kramer in 1943, was one of the leading costume jewelry manufacturers during the 1940s and 1950s. At this time, Christian Dior chose them to be their US manufacturer and created some exquisite pieces for them.

Kramer created some stunning pieces in enamel, gilt and silver. Additionally, they created pieces dripping with rhinestones in vibrant colors like blue, red and topaz.

In the 1950s and ’60s, Kramer created elaborate pieces featuring cascading Swarovski aurora borealis, petal-shaped pastes, and baroque faux pearls for Dior. These items were marked “Christian Dior by Kramer,” “Dior by Kramer,” or “Kramer for Dior.”

Kramer’s best designs were often complete parures – sets of necklaces, bracelets and clip earrings designed and produced together as one unit. This type of jewelry is extremely rare and highly sought-after.

Kramer objects in the early years typically feature smooth backs; however, in the 1970s and ’80s they began to be textured. This style marked a transition for the company as it moved away from producing high-end costume jewelry towards more accessible options.

Clip on earrings are an ideal solution for those with pierced ears who don’t feel confident wearing larger hoop or stud earrings due to not having the correct sized earlobes. Simply clip them onto your back earlobe with a clip, so they stay put even if you move your head or body.

They’re an ideal alternative to traditional pins and hoop earrings because they are simple to put on and take off, and won’t damage your ears. Unfortunately, these clips-ons may not be as secure as other clip-on types if you don’t apply enough pressure at the back of your earlobe when taking them off.
