Vintage Christmas Earrings - Vintage Clip On Earrings - Pinecone Jewelry - Pine Cone Earrings - Holiday Earrings - Christmas Jewelry - 1950s by HappyFortuneVintage

18.95 USD

Snowy pinecone clip-on earrings with original decorative packaging card marked "Merry Chirstmas" with bell motif and lady with a parasol, the curiosity of the card is almost as intriguing as the intricate detail on the pine boughs and cones.

The pine boughs are obviously plastic, although it is very difficult to discern if they are molded or carved. I don't believe these are celluloid. They could be Bubbleite. They are very light weight.

The pinecones are so realistic--I've examined them under a loop, that I ponder the possibility that they are real pinecones that have been dipped in a brownish gold paint. Please note that there is a little bit of green on the pinecones. There are sparkles embedded on the white plastic boughs and the pinecones.

Never worn, these earrings are in very good vintage condition. The gold-tone clip-back is marked "Japan." The style dates these earring to the 1950s.

Earrings come in a gift box ready for giving.

Card Dimenstions: 3" x 2 7/8" Card has some creasing and yellowing.

Earrings: 1 1/4" Diameter
