Snail satin silver earrings

Jewelry : Collectible : Costume

 

I bought this pair of earrings at the Jaffa Flea Market. It is a small picturesque flea market where I like to walk and occasionally buy special jewelry and items. The earrings, circa seventies, are made of electroformed silver leaves connected to spiral black satin button. The triangle 2" by 1.5'" silver leaves have wave like folds. On the corner of the leaves there is a silver "925" stamping, which I believe to be authentic. The snail shape button is made of a rolled and sewn black satin ribbon. Its diameter is 1.2". The earrings are clip on and their condition is good. On the surface of the silver there are oxidation and signs of age. The thickness of the earrings is 0.2". These earrings are a special combination of silver and textile, an interesting piece of fashion jewelry.
