Description: Top Quality Topaz Keystone Rhinestones and Jonquil Baguettes - All prong set, these earrings use 10 topaz "keystone" shaped rhinestones that surround light yellow baguettes set end to end. Clip findings are the type used by Pennino, but these are unsigned except for a patent number on one of the clip backs. Slightly domed, 1 1/2" x 3/4". Excellent condition and absolutely lovely.

Item: UE1-542

Price: $39.50 US

Description: Smarged Pink Bead Earrings - I have seen these beads referred to as shoebutton, but they are pink glass beads with white swirls, some attached with rhinestone headpins. Also included in the mix are plae pink crystal beads and goldtone flowers set with pink rhinestones. All wired to a pierced metal grid, covered with a filigree type backplate. French clip findings. The only thing that is odd is that the back part of the earrings are silvertone and the front are goldtone! Doesn't affect the appearance. 1" in diameter.

Item: UE2-539

Price: $18.50 US

Description: Sterling Vermeil Retro Earrings with Multi Colored Rhinestones - Floral and ribbon motif earrings marked sterling on both the body and the ends of the screwback findings. Stones are all prong set, with marquises in pink, emerald green, sapphire blue, purple and topaz, around a center emerald green round. About 1 1/8" in diameter. Vermeil (goldtone plating over sterling) is in good shape, with some signs of wear on the underside. Excellent overall condition and very attractive design. Hard item to find. These would go nicely with some of the Coro Retro pieces in the signed section of the site.

Item: UE2-540

Price: $28.50 US

••••

Description: Japanned Earrings with Clear Rhinestones - Attractive "spikey" design with paste set baguettes and rounds. Clip style, all stones are original and in excellent shape, japanning shows a little wear where the findings rub on themselves. Japanned pieces are getting harder and harder to find, snap these up before they disappear!

Item: UE2-541

Price: $22.50 US

••••

Description: Gunmetal Multi Blue Earrings - Made up of light, medium, and dark sapphire rhinestones in round and navette shapes, plus colored aurora borealis and blue iridized leaves. Set in a darkened silver/gunmetal type setting. 1 3/8" x 3/4", clip backs. Probably Regency but unsigned.

Item: UE1-509

Sorry, SOLD!

Description: 2x Hematite Finish Smoky Topaz Crystal Bead Earrings with Rhinestones - These beaded clip earrings have a clear rhinestone ball at the center, surrounded by beads attached with rhinestone headpins on the upper row and plain headpins on the lower. About 1 inch in diameter, excellent condition. At this price you'd have difficulty buying the parts. Probably unsigned Laguna.

Item: UE2-299

Price: $17.50 US

••••

Description: Arumed Rhinestone Articulated Earrings - "Peacock" design done in goldtone and set with arum (gold metallic) rhinestones. Almost certainly a Hollycraft design, done for either their own line or for Weiss, with the unusual goldtone with a slight greenish cast that was Hollycraft's plating. Excellent condition with only a little plating loss on one goldtone connector ring. 2 1/2" x 3/4". Wonderful with a gold evening gown or even as a fun accent with casual clothing.

Item: UE2-517

Price: $39.50 US

Sorry, SOLD!

••••

Description: Large Three D Earrings with Unusual Findings - These earrings measure 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" x 5/8" deep and are a ruffled work of art.  Pink line rhinestones curve around one side and are flanked by light blue baguettes to form a leaf design; the rest of the pieces are done in blue rhinestone chain that forms almost cone shapes going around the earring.  Special elongated clip mechanisms were attached to provide support so that these heavy earrings fit comfortably but are still secure.  A great idea that apparently never caught on.  Only earrings I have seen like this in 17 years of avid collecting.

Item: UE3-031

Price: $75.00 US

Sorry, SOLD!

Description: Pink and Clear Rhinestone Clip Earrings - Graceful design using rose pink emerald cut rhinestones and clear pave. Silvertone setting, 1" x 7/8".

Item: UE3-194

Price: $15.00 US

••••

Description: Unfoiled Glass Earrings - Very pretty earrings with a center stone of step-cut unfoiled glass, surrounded by oval and marquise clear stones that I can only assume are unfoiled because the backs are closed. All prong set in deeply patinaed  brass.  Clips are marked pat. pend.  1 1/4" in diameter. Do-nut clip mechanism indicates possible Schreiner or D&E.

Item: UE3-033

Price: $13.50 US

••••

Description: Pink Milkglass Pinwheel Earrings - Nice quality in an unusual color - opaque stones of this type are most often found in white or blue. Cabochon baguettes and octagonals are prong-set, silvertone setting, clip backs, 1 1/4" in diameter. Excellent condition. 1950's summer/casual jewelry, very pretty.

Item: UE3-321

Price: $12.50 US

••••

Description:Haskellesque Pearl and Rhinestone Earrings - While I don't think these are unsigned Haskell, they certainly were made to look like her style. Handwired into filigree, using "French" clips, each earring features 7 rhinestone rondelles and 4 rhinestone set headpins, holding beige-grey pearls in small and large sizes. Most findings appear to be brass but have darkened with time . 1" in diameter and very dimensional.

Item: UE3-311

Price: $27.50 US

••••

Description: Deco Revival Clear Rhinestone Dangle Clip Earrings - All done with round and baguette clear rhinestones. Not quite 2" long. Rhodium plate. Elegant look for that special night out.

Description: Unsigned Schreiner Runway Earrings - Oval baroque glass pearls are suspended from dog-tooth set oval glass stones, and from the pearls dangle 3 "smarged" green glass dimpled beads that alternate with marquise rhinestones and white glass pearls. Piecrust settings, and do-nut hole clip findings. Huge chandeliers in goldtone, 3 3/8" long x 1 1/4" at widest point. One small pearl is a little worn, very slight verdigris on some of the "dogteeth".

Item: UE5-506

Price: $195.00 US

••••

Description: Aqua and Clear Rhinestone Dangle Clip Earrings - I thoroughly expected to find the Bogoff name on these earrings when I first picked them up; no signature, but clip mechanisms are exceptionally nice quality (and I have not seen any marked Bogoff that used this type.) Regardless they are very pretty earrings with pave set clears and aqua colored marquises. 1 1/2" x 1/2" and manage to look elegant as well as substantial. Excellent condition and would look quite nice with the necklace located below.

Item: UE6-471

Price: $19.50 US

••••

Description: Exceptional Black Enamel and Clear Pave Rhinestone Leaf Earrings - Very nice earrings with substantial quality clip mechanisms. 1 1/4" in diameter, heavy rhodium plate. Those are not scratches on the plating on the clip findings, that is an etched number - P 321 DXO. With all the black and white combinations that are popular these make a great pair of fall earrings.

Item: UE7-468

Price: $28.50 US

••••

Description: Pink Rhinestone Front and Back Earrings - Wonderful showgirl style earrings with vertical branch going up the ear and horizontal branch coming out from behind the earlobe and going out.  Stones are all rose pink rounds and marquises (they may look lavender in the photo, but they are definitely pink.)  Silvertone setting, clip mechanisms.  Vertical branches 2 1/4", horizontal branches are 1 1/2". A walk-in customer broke these when she opened them because she didn't understand what they were, so these have a laser solder repair.

Item: UE7-080

Price: $44.50 US

••••

Description: Light Blue Baguette and Clear Pave Leaf Earrings - All original stones, stylized leaf shapes have silvertone setting.  Clip backs, convex shaped; 1 1/8" x 1/2".

Item: UE8-094

Price: $12.50 US

••••

Description: Paddle Briolette Earrings with Arum Beads and Rhinestone Rondelles - The topaz colored glass beads at the bottom are flattened pears that dangle from arum (gold metallic) beads and clear rhinestone rondelles. French clip mechanisms, 2" x 1/2". So pretty and lots of fun.

Item: UE8-470

Price: $18.50 US

••••

Description: Green Fruit Salad Earrings - This is another variation on the fruit salad stones - transparent green glass molded into floral shapes, with a clear rhinestone set in the middle and accented with more clear rhinestones. Silvertone setting. Quality clip mechanisms similar to the type Pennino used. 1 1/8" x 3/4". Very nice and much more impressive in person than the photo indicates.

Item: UE8-472

Price: $18.50 US

••••

Description: Green "Moonrock" Earrings with Lime AB Rhinestones and Light Green Moonglows - Fantastic, top quality earrings with everything but the kitchen sink. All stones are prong set, excellent original condition. 1" x 1 1/4", clip mechanisms work great. Very possibly D&E or perhaps Schiaparelli.

Item: UE9-500

Price: $27.50 US

Sorry, SOLD!

••••

Description: Arumed Rhinestone Clip Earrings - These were almost certainly manufactured by Hollycraft, whether for their own line or for the lines that they manufactured for, Weiss being the primary wholesaler of this type of costume jewelry. These use the plating, a bright slightly greenish goldtone. 1 1/8" x 3/4", excellent condition.

Item: UE10-511

Price: $17.50 US

••••

Description: Deep Blue Floral Earrings with Clear RS Centers - These earrings are a deep blue in person, almost cobalt in color. Rectangular octagon stones are prong set, centers are paste set clear rounds. Clip mechanisms are the etched floral triangular type that are similar to what Bogoff used but these look earlier than Bogoff. 1" in diameter. Excellent original condition, clears have darkened slightly but certainly to be expected for 60+ year old earrings.

Item: UE9-469

Price: $12.50 US

••••

Description: Top Quality Blue RS & Glass Pearl Earrings - Rhodium plated with clip earring findings identical to ones I have seen on Pennino, these are simply marked Patent Pending. Glass faux pearl center is cream colored and surrounded by sets of three Indian Sapphire pear shaped prong set rhinestones. (Indian sapphire is a Swarovski color name for a slightly grey-hued dark aqua blue stone - very pretty and difficult to find.) Original glass pearls were scuffed and I was lucky to find identical replacements. Earrings are 1" square.

Item: UE10-423

Price: $26.50 US

••••

Description: Japanned Clear Rhinestone Earrings - Really lovely clip earrings in a japanned (black enamel) setting - all rhinestones are clear and sparkly, paste set. 1 1/4" x 3/4".

Item: UE9-215

Price: $19.50 US

••••

Description: Colorado Topaz Rivoli Earrings - Possibly D&E, these lovely earrings would make a very nice marriage with the above bracelet. 3/4" in diameter, goldtone setting, very good condition, with the back side of the clip mechanisms somewhat age patina-ed.

Item: UE10-510

Price: $17.50 US

••••

Description: Over The Top Basket Earrings - Done in emerald green and sapphire blue glass rhinestones and crystal beads and headpins, this pair of silvertone earrings are really unusual.  2 1/4" x 1 1/4", clip, dangle style.  Looks like Vendome but doesn't have the trademark clip mechanisms.

Item: UE11-128

Price: $45.00 US

••••

Description: Green Glass Faux Moonstone and Lime Green Rhinestone Earrings - 1950's moonstone pieces came in pink, blue, purple, yellow, beige, and even green - and green is probably the hardest color to find. If you have other lime green pieces you need to match, here is your opportunity. Clip findings, goldtone setting, 1 1/4" x 5/8".

Item: UE10-392

Price: $12.50 US

••••

Description: Chalk White Dangle Chain Earrings - These clip earrings have an interesting design of three graduated dangling rows in front and 5 graduated rows in back, all suspended from another circle of stones. These round stones are cut en cabochon (unfaceted); goldtone setting. 2 1/4" x 7/8". Excellent condition. Nice for a white outfit that needs no other jewelry than fairly sizeable earrings.

Item: UE11-379

Price: $15.00 US

••••

Description: Black Thermoplastic Clip Earrings with 3 rows of clear rhinestones - These look for all the world like they should go with some kind of Weiss clamper bracelet, but earring backs are marked "Japan" and while the findings are close they are not identical. Regardless they work great and the earrings are a wonderful style. Centers are concave. All stones are original and in excellent shape. Very slightly over 1" in diameter.

Item: UE10-424

Price: $28.50 US

••••

Description: Purple and Pink Givre-Type Earrings - Accented with purple aurora borealis rhinestones, these earrings use deep purple givre navettes and bicolored pink and purple pears. Truly unusual stones. Silvertone setting, all prong set, 1 1/2" x 5/8". Correct three hole clip findings for DeLizza and Elster, but I have not had these confirmed. Regardless of who made these, these stones are unusual and rare and the matching pieces would have to be absolutely breathtaking. Excellent condition. These stones would be impossible to find.

Item: UE12-443

Price: $35.00 US

••••

Description: Colorado Topaz and Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earrings - These certainly look like Weiss but no mark. All prong set (mostly multi-prong), excellent condition.Round and navette shaped stones. Clip, 1 3/8" x 3/4". It would be fun to see the matching pieces! Classic 1950's.

Item: UE12-499

Price: $19.50 US

••••

Description: Deco Style Up the Ear Clip Earrings - Though these earrings were probably made no earlier than the 1950's because of the clip findings, the use of topaz colored rhinestone baguettes and emerald cuts give these earrings a Thirties feeling. Accented with clear rhinestone paved swirls and topaz rhinestone rondelles, these measure 1 5/8" x 3/4".

Item: UE12-148

Price: $42.50 US

••••

Description: Jonquil Satinstone and Rhinestone Earrings - Satiny yellow marquises and yellow rhinestones make this a yellow-lover's dream! Set in brass, clip back mechanisms. 2" x 1" with plenty of layering. Possibly Juliana, has correct clip mechanism and riveted construction, but I have no matching pieces to substantiate that.

Item: UE12-154

Price: $27.50 US

••••

Description: Green Cabochon Pear Earrings - D&E?? All prong set, these use one of the correct clip findings for D&E and have the same general size/shape that this company used. Deep bottle green cabs surround a single green and two clear rhinestones. 1 7/8" x 15/16". Excellent original condition. Inside of clip finding says "A" in a circle and Pat. Pend.

Item: UE12-475

Price: $16.50 US
