Early 1900's Christmas Rose Austrian Pin/Earring Set

Jewelry : Vintage

 

This very unusual set came from the estate of a local lady who taught for many years. She traveled abroad a lot and purchased this around 1920 in Austria. The pin is approx 3" long. The rose looks as if it could be paper mache but I'm not sure. It is surrounded by leaves and lily of the valley type flowers with crystal stones inside. There are 3 crystals protruding from the inside of the rose. There are other crystals surrounded by small white beads that have been wired onto the leaves (look at pictures), The leaves have a gold material on the back of them. The earrings each have 3 of the lily of the valley type flower with crystals inside and more wired on small white flowers with crystals. There is also one white bead with a crystal on top of it. I had the earrings converted to pierced because I could not wear the clips. I loved these dearly but no longer go anywhere to wear such a special set
