I found these earrings at an estate sale this weekend. I've seen lots of earrings over the last few years, but this style of hook I have seen very little. The bottom right pair have a screw back which I have never come across. Does anyone have any ideas on these earrings, what year they could be from?

The shepherds hook style earrings with the latch mechanism were popular in the 1950's-60's.
The screw back studs were also from that era and normally used over the push on backs for more expensive earrings, such as karat gold, gemstone or cultured pearls.
