Sapphire, Onyx & Citrine Bead 1950s Earrings

These 1950s earrings feature a cluster of sapphire-, onyx-, and yellow-green-glass beads. A prong-set, faceted citrine-glass stone surrounded by tiny onyx beads complete the design. Except for the black beads, all are coated with Aurora Borealis, which adds iridescence. This vibrant and unique late-1950s color combination is set in gold-tone metal. These colorful ear clips by Hattie Carnegie are a versatile addition to any jewelry wardrobe. They remind me of costumes in the early episodes of Mad Men.
