Dating and describing large floral earrings

[Robin of Frocksley]

This pair of earrings has me thinking 50's, but I'm not sure. No marks anywhere. The flowers are plastic, kind of a salmon color, a little bit pinker than they look in the pics. Also, I'm wondering if there's a term for this style/shape, as I've seen it before. Thanks!

Hi Robin, I vote early '60s for these cutie pies.

 

[The Vintage Merchant]

I'd say 60s, too, Robin. the color looks coral, to my eye, and as far as the flowers, i would say they look like Asters.

we've had a couple pair of these, and they sell well (not a real high price point, though), they're very dramatic, and they're lightweight, for their size (so shipping is inexpensive). love the color of yours!

They are great fun! I have a set myself in the more common single flower form. From the direction of the clips yours look as though they are supposed to 'cup' the ear.

 

[Robin of Frocksley]

Thanks, all! 60's it is

I have always associated this type of soft plastic earring that conforms to the shape of the ear with the 1950s.

Ooh Ooh Ooh... pick me...
I have these in an advert from 1954. I thought they were newer too, which is why I copied the advert... of course now I can't find it, but trust me - they are 50s.

Love to see that Jonathan if you can find it!
I went looking through Linn's jewellery workshop because I thought she had an ad for earrings that extended up the ear but didn't find it there.

 

[Robin of Frocksley]

Thanks, everyone Now I'm back to thinking 50's. I'd love to see the ad as well.

I know its a photo of a dark haired woman taken from above and she is wearing virtually the identical earrings but in white, with rhinestones. I think its actually an ad for something else like liquor or cigarettes, but she is wearing those earrings..
