These brass earrings feature chrysoprase, carnelian and onyx glass grapes beneath beautifully detailed leaves and flowers with onyx glass bead centers. Even the back of each earring is adorned with a large textured leaf. The decoration is wonderful, and the patina is warm. Although bunches of grapes were a common motif in early 20th century jewelry, I’ve never seen anything like these splendid, all-original screw-back earrings before. These earrings can be modified for pierced ears.
