Absolute mid century beauties done in a very Victorian style!
Done in a stunning aqua/blue, these spectacular earrings are made of carved celluloid with their intricately carved floral centers raised above a ring of gorgeous faceted clear chatons.
I find the elaborate carvings absolutely exquisite.
Multi-Layered and domed, these beauties measure 1 1/4" wide and 1 5/8" long and have a 1/2" depth due to the doming.
With three levels, the center, the highest part, is filled with intricate carved celluloid flowers with one flower in particular raised above the others. Around and below that floral carving is a full ring of beautifully faceted clear rhinestones, which are original to the piece and have a dazzling brilliance. Below that there is a level with a great deal of open work and EIGHT round rhinestones acting as the center of eight flowers.
The shape of these mid century beauties is oval.
In superb vintage condition, these earrings appear to have never been worn. I consider them true masterpieces. The celluloid is in fantastic condition with no chips, scrapes, scratches or breaks. The rhinestones have a tremendous brilliance and all rhinestones are present and accounted for. NO rhinestones are missing, dull, dead, dark, cloudy or yellow.
The clip backs are functional and secure, and, like the front of the earrings, appear unused.
Dynamic, feminine, unusual, expertly crafted, these are fabulous, fabulous vintage lightweight pieces.
