This is a beautiful vintage / antique 1953 Trifari pair of clip on earrings. They named this collection "Flirtation" (also referred to as "Halo") and it was one of the collections featured in Trifari's 1953 advertisement "She will know it's Christmas when you give her Jewels by Trifari". The patent that was eventually granted for these earrings was patent # 170,207 granted to Alfred Philippe for Trifari, Krussman & Fishel Inc. on Aug 18, 1953. Parts of this collection were also featured on page 253 of Julia C Carroll's book "Collecting Costume Jewelry 202 Second Edition". They are made of marquise cut, square, baguette cut and chaton cut clear rhinestones - all glue set in a platinum toned Trifanium. They would be great to add to your collection or to wear!
