Damage: Age appropriate wear. These earrings do not have any backings; backings of your choice will need to be added by your local jeweler. Tarnish on the sterling silver give the earrings an antique quality we believe is rather lovely; tarnish can be removed with a buffing. The price has been reduced to reflect this.

The History

The Art Deco era is famous for being the "Gatsby" or "Roaring Twenties" era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period. Jewelry from this period was most often crafted between 1920 and 1935. Art Deco jewelry sometimes featured white gold or platinum, geometric designs, European cut diamonds, filigree, and calibre cut stones that are specifically cut to fit the design of the piece. During the Art Deco period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand.
