A Dazzle from the Deco Days!
Slip into the glitz of the fabulous forties with this striking pair of Art Deco-era screw-back earrings, lovingly crafted circa 1940 in glowing 9ct rose gold.

These solitaire-style beauties each showcase a hypnotic round-cut iris glass stone, held securely in claw prong settings like precious captured fireflies.

The magic lies in the glass itself—iris glass, also whimsically known as "rainbow glass," is a marvel born of late 19th- and early 20th-century innovation.

Designed to mimic the ethereal flash of real gemstones, these glass gems shimmer with a kaleidoscope of color: greens, purples, blues, and rosy hues shift like an aurora when caught by the light. Originally developed by European glassmakers, iris glass became especially beloved during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, when jewelry was all about drama, geometry, and shine.

These earrings are petite powerhouses—elegant yet punchy, vintage yet endlessly wearable. The screw-back fittings make them easy to adjust for a comfortable, secure fit (a hallmark of fine vintage design). While one of the stones bears a few gentle surface whispers/scratches from time gone by, the pair is priced accordingly—and still sparkles with a charm that no modern gem could ever replicate.
