These earrings are made of silver plated metal. The entire earring drops 1.75 inches. They are open work making them lightweight. The posts are silver and come with earring backs that are marked, " Monet C".

These Brutalist style earrings are circa 1960 and made by a high end costume jewelry maker of the time, Monet. 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.

NecromanceNola vintage jewelry sells this type of vintage earrings often since they were well made, usually plated multiple times and had unique design. The design is unique and they have a nice weight to them.

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