They look like they're holding ladybugs

Ha, they do ! Maybe they're eating dinner.

They do look like a bug eating another bug, but that seems like a strange thing to make into jewelry. I wonder if there was a huge outbreak of a certain type of bug, then another bug was the solution?

Baubles, that is an odd subject to use, still not sure what they depict, if anything.
Sandy, that's what I thought, I was hoping someone would recognize them because they are so unusual.
Thanks for help !

Interesting thought Crow, I'll look into that theme.
The construction, rhodium plate finish and pin mechanism make me think these are from the 50's. What's somewhat odd though is that the prongs were shaved down to be flush with the stones, never really saw that before.

pretty, and very bizarre! (I like that combination )
Makes me think of Bogoff. Why? Well, this is kind of a hijack, but the reason it reminds me of Bogoff is because of a funny listing I saw here once, where the seller included the designer name as "Bugoff"! Those Bogoff siggies are pretty hard to read (kind of like Coro, buried in plating sometimes). Also makes me think of Bogoff because I have a pair of Bogoff scatter pins that belonged to my grandmother - Bees, with red and green rhinestones (I call them my Christmas Bees)

These look like Flys with the two big eyes at the front of them....

They are very well made quality and unique I would guess around 40's or 50's, that color was common around that time as well as the rhodium plat. Very nice!!!
