Here's a pair of earrings that Carmen Miranda would approve of! Consisting of a cluster of orange and yellow, plastic 'banana' beads, they measure 2 3/8" long by 1" wide and have gold tone metal findings and clip backs. Very good vintage condition with some minor 'flea bite' dings here and there that do not detract. $46.00 Item#P 1001-017 View the earrings as worn |

A nice size at 1 3/8" long by 1" wide, these 1930s clip earrings are made of cream colored plastic with painted gold tone loops and branches and inset pink rhinestones. The brass tone clips are mounted to a clear Lucite rectangle on the back at center and there is a very faint hint of camphor during the heat test (hot water), but not enough that I'd call them celluloid. Excellent vintage condition. $46.00 Item#P 0908-101 |
