Fabulous Sea Shell Earrings!! Date?

[BijouVintage]

I just fell in LOVE with these.. so tempted to keep them. Is there a market for these? and.. date?

sorry, early messy pics

Hard to date - anywhere from the 1930's - 1950's, but my initial reaction is '30's. More photos will help. I think I'd keep them, too. Really sweet and charming!

What is the material with the pearl on it - on the top front of the screwbacks?

How cute are those!!!Little spiral shells with the 'pearls' spilling out! What is at the top? Would it be amber? Seaglass?

The style looks mid-late 50's to me.

 

[Metro Retro Vintage]

LOL! Sniped by Linn And we both want to know what's at the top!

They're totally adorable--can see why you snapped 'em up!

Amanda has to see these...

The top is glass with a little pearl in the center: another shot

yep, I took these quick and messy, in fact the background of the second shot is my skirt as I took a photo without ever leaving the comfort of my desk:icon_dante:

Beth -

Do you know what the metal is on the findings? A shot of the bottoms of and the findings will help a little. I still feel they are earlier....
