Unique Art Deco Revival Wing-Fan Earrings For pierced ears. In Art Deco language one would say these earrings have a sunray motif, but to me they look like angel's wings! Each earring is made in two wafer-thin layers. First there is a black base--I am unsure of the substance, but it isn't metal. Equipped with studs, this base has another layer applied on top--Applied wedge shapes of genuine abalone and another kind of white and pink shell. These wedges are separated by what I believe to be silver. However, we can't test without the scratching the shell. The set looks very similar to some Mexican jewelry they used to make in the 1970s, which would date it just in time for the 1970s Art Deco revival. Highly polished, they really catch up the light and do pretty things with it! 1 3/8" tall and 3/4" wide at the widest point, these ear jewels are in Excellent condition. $22 |

Pink Bumpy Faux Pearl Drops with Rhinestones The crinkly bumpy baroque texture is what makes these pale pink earrings special. The teardrops are preciously plump and topped with rhinestone roundels, while the top portion is a smaller baroque faux pearl, surrounded by clear crystals in a floral motif. The color of the faux pearls is a very light warm shining pink--the gallery picture came out pinker than they are. But when you click it, you'll get the larger image which is closer to the actual color. The findings are rhodium plated, and the earrings offer a clip on mechanism which also has a screw adjustment so you can loosen or tighten to your comfort. These clips are marked with a 1965 patent number assigned to Aro-Sac, an earring finding company that has been in business for the last 60 years! The earrings are 1 1/2" long and dangle prettily. Sweet confections that will make him want to nibble your ear. Excellent, clean condition. $18 |
