QuickviewPeridot & Diamanté Art Deco Pendant Earrings
Vintage Earrings, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$195.00
QuickviewPeridot & Diamanté Art Deco Pendant Earrings
Vintage Earrings, 1920s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$195.00A faceted, peridot-glass-teardrop with a silver-tone metal caps drops from diamanté-embellished links in these delicate and elegant 1920s Art Deco earrings. The yellow metal shepherd hooks, original to the earrings, make me think they are European in origin. Most of the diamanté are cloudy, but they do not detract from the appearance of these beauties — the star attraction is each pale-green-glass pendant.
