Step back in time with these charming vintage clip-on earrings, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s. Each earring features a dazzling ruby red rhinestone, beautifully set in a gilt metal scallop shell design. These pieces were crafted using a common jewellery-making method called stamping, where thin sheets of metal are pressed into a desired shape using dies. This process results in a very lightweight piece, ensuring comfortable wear throughout the day.

The clip mechanisms are in good working condition, providing a secure and comfortable fit for non-pierced ears. While these earrings bear no marks or signatures, their distinct style is often associated with Bohemian, or Czech, costume jewellery from the mid-20th century. They are a delightful find for anyone looking to add a touch of classic vintage elegance to their wardrobe.

Please note that the stones are high-quality rhinestones, not natural rubies, and the metal is gilt rather than solid gold. Each earring measures approximately 1.8cm by 1.8cm. They are in good vintage condition, showing expected signs of age and wear consistent with their history, with the rhinestones remaining bright and secure.
