They are elongated yet delicate, emphasizing vertical lines and symmetry, hallmarks of the Art Deco period.
The earrings are made from a silvertone metal alloy that has been rhodium plated, lending a polished, mirror-like finish that resists tarnishing over time.
The metal’s surface is engraved with ornamental scrollwork, incorporating sharp geometric shapes and organic motifs—a signature Art Deco interplay of industrial and natural design elements.
The back features pierced openwork, intricately latticed, which reduces weight while adding a decorative touch even where not visible when worn.
The earrings boast two mother of pearl cabochons per piece, one round at the top and one larger oval at the bottom.
These cabochons are polished to a high gloss, revealing the iridescent play of light that is characteristic of mother-of-pearl, with shifting hues of soft pink, opal white, and pale green.
The top round cabochons are perfectly centered in twisted metal borders with precision prong settings.
The lower oval cabochons framed in elaborate silvertone floral/scalloped borders, emphasizing their size and central role in the design.
As Czech costume jewelry, these earrings were manufactured with the same precision and artistry typically reserved for fine jewelry, yet made accessible by using affordable materials.
