These drop earrings are made of brushed satin silvertone metal. The bottom bead components measure 1.25 inches and have a detailed filigree top. The .5 inch top is dome shaped and brushed metal. Since they are hollow, they are light weight. They drop to 1.75 inches.

These earrings are circa 1950 and made by a high end costume jewelry maker of the time, Monet. ***Please note that the earring tops are contemporary studs that have replaced the original clip-on backs.*** These, as most earrings from this era, were clip-on style. I have secured the contemporary gold filled studs to the original earring tops to appeal to the majority of customers who prefer pierced earrings. The original clip-on backs marked, " Monet C" will be included, just FYI. Contemporary ear nut backings are included.

The first half of the 20th century was the heyday for well made costume jewelry sold from fine department stores to Woolworth, usually made in Europe or the United States. The manufacture and quality of costume jewelry deteriorated in the latter part of the century making this era the last with enduring products.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Www.Etsy.Com/Shop/Necromancenola.
