Snatched up this beauty yesterday and was wondering if ya'll have ever seen anything like this with the fake flower stems attached, It came on the cord but it's a brooch really. I noticed while taking pics that the one earring is smashed 😞 I am afraid to bend it back for fear of breaking it.
Does this look familiar to anyone?? would you just sell as a set or break it up and put the earrings in a repair lot??
This other pair of earrings by Anson say Karat Clad do you think that is moonstone on onyx??
Thanks in advance 🙂

That set is lovely! Prolly gonna be hard to pinpoint as so many mfgs did the Japanning.
But it reminds me of Austria pcs

I personally don't think the little flowers are original to this set. If they are, then I agree with Sarah in it possibly being Austrian.
Are you sure that this is a Japanned set or could it possibly be gun metal?
Yeah trying to get the earring straighten could be touchie. I have had sucess in using a needle nose pliers on the bent part making sure not to put pressure on the soldered portion of the connection. I generally hold my thumb on that part of the clip and then gently ... very gently straighted it. Delicate, but can be done.

Thanks everyone 🙂
Sandy I do believe the flowers are original cause it's shaped like a "tussy mussy" where they are inserted. I am almost sure it's just a japanned setting as it looks like some of the paint is wearing off under one of the clipbacks. I am going to try to bend it back thanks for the hints on how to 🙂
Charm , I think you're right on. The "moonstone" light travels when you turn the piece. Thank you !!
