About the Item

A very distinctive and most individual design, these beautiful eye catching earrings are bright and joyful. Set in gilded metal, a blue cast glass leaf sits at the centre, with two 'stems' set with dark aqua blue stones, and topped with a moving iridescent cast glass flower head. These will move with the wearer. Marked 'Depose' on the reverse of the clip,and of no known maker, they are very French in feel and design, tipfying that very particular French style and glamour of the period, yet utterly contemporary.
