These Art Deco classic geometric earrings are anything but your run-of-the-mill, everyday vintage earrings (if such a creature exists). What makes them desirous is that they are not easy for the collector to find. They date from the early to mid 1920s, which while technically vintage has them approaching the antique status. In fact, we are so sure that you will love them that we venture to guess that you’ll still be wearing them when that transitional year comes about. But, enough for the history, now for the good part: the description.

They are Art Deco paste chandelier each of which consists of two, two mind you, not one, graduated and articulated bezel set diamante stepped triangular links. Suspended from these links is a disc-shaped faceted drop, and to add to the elegance all of this is suspended from a prong-set chaton surmount. Look at the pictures and the 20s come alive. Envision a flapper girl (technical term, not sexism) wearing them and you probably have recaptured the original owner wearing them to a night out on the town during the Roaring Twenties. In case you are still not swept off your feet by the description and ready to Charleston, we will give technical details. These screw-back earrings are 2 1/4” by 3/4”. The material of the drop is a glass disc with bezel-set diamante paste all of which is set in white metal. They are, to round out the picture, in excellent condition. A real find, and this is not drifting into hyperbole.
