Whimsical Painted and Bejeweled Earrings

For pierced ears. During the 1960's costume jewelry artists and designers experimented with various materials. These hand painted and heavily lacquered earrings appear to be made with curled wood shavings. The tops are bejeweled with clear beads, glitter, and one AB rhinestone apiece. The colors are more delicate than the scans show; there is also more pink, and the backs are all bright salmon pink. The area surrounding the beads and rhinestones are pink rather than yellowish brown as the scan portrays. These are very feminine without being too sweet; they have a happy, ethereal look. Equipped with silvertone studs, these measure 
1 1/4" tall going around the curl, and 1 1/4" wide at the widest edge. This rare set is in Excellent condition. $18

Gerda Lynggaard Licorice & Cream Squares 

These clip earrings look very vintage, but actually Denmark designer,  Gerda Lynggaard,  has been in business only since the 1980s. For a fresh, up-to-date jazzy look, wear these striped squares. The squares are made of 5/8" thick, quality, heavy thermoset plastic, with black and off-white colors that make me think of licorice and cream! Silvertone clip findings are fastened to the backs of these 1 1/8" squares. One of the earrings sports a dangling tag that reads "Gerda Lynggaard, Monies, Copenhagan (c)." The earrings findings may have a high silver content, for they are a bit tarnished. Very Good+ condition. $32

Pretty in Peach Pearly Beaded Overlay Earrings

These kinds of 1950s clip on earrings are beautiful and sought after, but this pair is specially endearing to the heart. Perhaps it's the colors--the light peach moonglow inserts surrounded by lighter peach faux pearl flowers centered with bright rhinestones. Notice the peach pearls with delightful floral endcaps and gold tone foliage overlay. Grandma would have worn these every Sunday, and now they can be in your jewel box. Remarkably well preserved, but one of the rhinestones has some glue residue around it which can be seen only under at least 5x magnification. Earrings are 1 1/4" x 1". Very Good condition. $22

Purple Floral Jumble Beauties

Here's a pair of ear clips with a little of everything, besides the delightful shapes and regal purple colors. Gold tone flower petals with the most delightful textures hold faux pearls in blueberry, bright lavender and purple secured with brass headpins. Also crowded onto the kidney shaped gold tone openwork setting is a jumble of faux pearls in assorted purples, purple moonglow Lucite ovals, and two winking amethyst rhinestones per earring. Measurements are 1 1/4" long x 7/8" wide. All pearls and stones intact and sound. Very Good + for mild wear on backs where clips meet the setting. Enjoy for $18

Pretty Faux Pearl Leaf Overlay Button Earrings

Didn't every Grandma have a set or two of faux pearl button earrings? This set is a special treat, with off warm tone off white faux half pearls set within double leaves. The leaves are silvertone and so is the metal, but they look like gold tone. The clip back earrings have lasted admirably--not a flake of peeling to the pearls, and the leaves are in perfect condition. Excellent. $16.00

Reverse :The backs are mirrored, in the scan they are kind of grayed out. Actually, they really flash!

Huge, Swaying '80's Circle Chandelier Earrings

For pierced Ears. Your a statuesque swaying swan of a gal, and you'll never, ever be seen at a party wearing the same jewels as someone else! These 1980's ear jewels are big and sassy but very light, similar to Lunch at the Ritz jewelry, but you won't pay nearly the price. Transparent acrylic faceted "stones" in a rainbow of gem colors have mirrored backs and dangle down a full 3 1/2" from the golden beaded studs. A great look in vintage jewelry for this season, the earrings are old store stock and never worn, in excellent condition.$24

This great pair of wing shaped clip earrings can be worn either way, with the wings projecting outward, or inward for more subtly. Probably there is a blue rhinestone butterfly that goes with this; it will be fun to find! All prong set in a rhodium, these clear, medium-light blue baguettes and chatons compete with a single, emerald cut stone for the most flirty sparkle in these 1 1/2" x 7/8" dazzlers. Signed KRAMER on the clips without copyright mark, these pre-1953 jewels are in excellent condition. $28.
