Good Evening, another pair of screw backs, the center piece is cut shell, it is surrounded by tiny little, somethings...pastel colored teardrops and dried, somethings. Is the only natural substance the shell? ( and tiny shells in front that are easily identifiable) These would be listed as shell earrings? That really doesn't sound appealing, shell and what? I have not listed much jewelry in the past, but I am enjoying all of the schooling immensely, as it usually happens, two other posters with questions had them answered very quickly, I of course happened to have similar pieces in my mystery pile, mysteries no more! Thank You again for your willingness to help and educate, V76
I think the things you are describing are supposed to be stamens and the whole earring is interpretation of a flower. Hard to tell for sure, but they appear to be made almost like the cotton pearls - kind of a painted Q-tip. I would describe them as hand-made. Women bought supplies or kits and produced them as a cottage industry.
