Thin, transparent leaves of iridescent purple plastic make up these delicate mid-century earrings. The leaves are accented with matching seed beads, strung on wire that also serves to hold the earrings to the base, which is a silvery star and a rhinestone setting that holds the clip. Clips are brass and marked "Made in Western Germany." The earrings probably date to the mid-1950s. Earrings are in very good condition for their age; they do show some wear but they're still gorgeous - the delicate construction makes jewelry like this very rare today! With a measurement of 2 x 2-1/2 inches, they make a dramatically bold statement!
