Amethyst & Diamanté Earrings from Austria
1930s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese vintage amethyst earrings feature three rows of vertically-set stones. In the middle are two deep-purple baguettes with a round diamanté on top and a faceted, teardrop-shaped diamanté at the bottom. On either side of the middle, the pattern is repeated but with a single baguette. The setting is rhodium-plated metal shaped to hold the stones together, making each pendant one piece. A single, faceted, round diamanté sits at the earlobe. These 1930s Art Deco earrings from Austria are all-original screw-backs and can be modified for pierced ears. The color combination is rich, regal, and easy-to-wear.USD$295.00USD$295.00
Amethyst Earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli
1940s Jewelry, Elsa Schiaparelli Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese amethyst costume earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli feature the single, large emerald-cut stones that were so popular in the 1940s. Although classic and classy, this pair of ear clips is really hard to photograph. The stones are open back (without any green, as the photos may suggest) in a silver-tone setting. The actual color is a deep, regal purple. Earrings like these never go out of style!USD$195.00USD$195.00
Aquamarine Floral Earrings by Pennino Bros.
1940s Jewelry, Pennino Bros. Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese aquamarine earrings were made by Pennino Bros. in the 1940s. The curled, flirty flower petals in gold-washed metal are the same shape and finish this maker used in a series of 1947 brooches called Sunburst. The glass stone settings are the same as their Bulrush brooch and earrings set from the same year. Both were made in vermeil sterling. According to Brunialti, the patent pending mark on these earrings refers to the clip mechanism, as these designs were not patented. Because the sterling mark is on the ear clip only, I can't say for sure that this pair is sterling silver. These details are just for background – all Pennino jewels are divine! And by facing each other, these earrings frame your face to perfection. Please note that bright spots are merely lighting reflections.USD$245.00USD$245.00
Baroque Pearl Earrings by Louis Rousselet
1950s Jewelry, Louis Rousselet Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese baroque pearl earrings have a large, cream-colored glass pearl center encircled by a ring of small, matching round glass pearls. Though these 1950s earrings are unsigned, the horseshoe-shaped ear clip, materials and design are classic characteristics of Louis Rousselet. (Their pieces were usually only signed with paper hang tags.) This pair has been authenticated by the current company manager. Classic and classy, these earrings would make a lovely accessory for daytime, evening, or bridal/wedding/prom wear.USD$375.00USD$375.00
Black Bakelite & Diamanté 1930s Earrings by Schreiber & Hiller
1930s Jewelry, Schreiber & Hiller Jewelry, Vintage EarringsAt the top of these 1930s earrings is a link with engraved sides that holds seven diamantés. At the bottom is another diamanté-set link flanked by black Bakelite (or Galalith) on three sides. In the middle is a single stone. Each earring has a small chip of Bakelite at the bottom, but that minor flaw in no way detracts from their beauty. The original ear clips were converted to sterling silver ear wires with lever backs for pierced ears by my expert jeweler.

Blue Bead Earrings by Hattie Carnegie
1950s Jewelry, Hattie Carnegie Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese blue bead earrings by Hattie Carnegie are an imaginative example of the style that was so popular in the 1950s. They are formed by clusters of blue-glass beads in varying shapes, tones, sizes and finishes. The combination adds dimension to these ear clips. A few of the beads are iridescent because of their aurora borealis coating. Scroll down to see the Blue Glass Bead 2-strand Choker by the same designer. Both pieces are perfect for women who look best in cool colors.USD$185.00USD$185.00
Camphor Glass Earrings with Diamanté & Onyx
Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese camphor glass earrings were made in the Art Deco style and were very difficult to photograph in the hanging position. The camphor glass is more opaque than the first picture suggests; the second is a more accurate depiction. The pendants are embellished with diamanté triangles and rectangular onyx-glass stones. The ear wires with lever-backs for pierced ears are original to the earrings and unmarked. I have seen similar earrings in Ginger Moro’s book (European Designer Jewelry, p. 49) described as being made from vintage components. From my perspective, the date of their manufacture doesn’t detract from the elegance and glamour these earrings provide the wearer. Scroll down to see the same design in lapis. Both pairs were in my personal collection.USD$295.00USD$295.00

Citrine Pendant Earrings
1920s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage EarringsThese citrine pendant earrings from the mid-1920s are probably Czech in origin.

Diamanté & Bead Flower Earrings by Miriam Haskell

Six petals formed from tiny clear- and grey-glass bi-color beads wired together surround each large, faceted, round diamanté center. Designed by Frank Hess, this elegant pair features the style and workmanship that characterize Miriam Haskell pieces. The use of French ear clips dates these earrings to no earlier than the late-1940s, but I think the style is more 1950s.

Diamanté & Silver Vintage Dangle Earrings

Long and luxurious, these all-original Art Deco pendants have gold-colored ear wires with shepherd hooks for pierced ears. I am unaware of their metal content. I think these beautiful earrings are European in origin because of their exceptional quality, their fasteners, and the "SILVER" stamp on the back. The use of "800 silver" (which is less than the 925 standard for sterling) was common in Europe when these jewels were made. Pieces like these are difficult to photograph, and the earrings are much brighter and more sparkly than the photos indicate. This glamorous pair walked the runway at a recent fashion show.
