These are rather large, clip-on open work hanging hoop earrings. They hang to 2. 25 inches. The Rococco style clip-on earring tops are 1 inch long. The detailed enamel cut work bottoms are 1. 25 inch. The design is a typical one of Spanish Damascene style.

Vintage Damascene jewelry was made between 1930 and 1970. It is still made today, but the contemporary craftsmanship is easily distinguished from the old pieces. Japanese Damascene was made by oxidizing metal, hence the black background, then adding gold or silver foil to the etched design. In Spanish Damascene, the metal has been textured and the black color is created by enamel being added.

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.
