    I think these are amazing! I've never seen anything like them. Unfortunately they are not marked. I think they are plastic but remind me of carved shell, like is on my Chinese wall plaques. Have you seen similar pieces or have an idea of who may have made them? Would love to know more about them.

      Efesgirl - thanks, I hadn't found those. Yes they are very similar, probably the same maker.

      Yes, these earrings were very popular in the 50s, you have a very pretty pair! :)

      katherinescollections - thanks, they have some damage but I'm suprised they didn't have more. I got them in a jar packed full of earrings.

      I do not know why, but when I looked at them they reminded me of a BIRD OF PARADISE type of earrings........?? That is what popped into my head.....LOL
