These little flower earrings we’re in the lot that I got today. They are screwback and are marked Sterling. Any ideas on age of these?

These are just lovely! Screw backs were invented in 1894 and clips were patented in 1934 so I'd guess these are from anywhere between these two time periods. They look very Art Nouveau in style to me.
They look a bit like Stuart Nye! Very pretty!
Betweenthelens and Tigra, thanks so much for the comments and the info:)
I think they are by S. Nye, these flower designs were famous, the dark tarnish image may change the perception, but I owned some of these. Thanks for posting.

Truthordare, thanks for the info. I think you are right, They look like your set.
I would say from around 1950's.
I would say from around 1950's. Due to the design. Screwback were still used then.
