Pair of vintage screwback earrings with a delicate design that showcases the sensual fire of Aurora Borealis stones. Wildly popular in the early 1950s, Aurora Borealis stones are created by applying a special metallic coating over crystal or glass - a technique perfected by the innovative Manfred Swarovski, head of his family's famed Austrian crystal company, in consultation with fashion icon Christian Dior. The alluring result of their collaboration is evident in these earrings, which feature 2 faceted chaton stones, at 5mm and 8mm, prong-set in gold-tone metal and shimmering with gold, pink, lavender, and blue. Although made in midcentury, the earrings have the genteel look of a Victorian or Edwardian ear bob - the perfect accessory to frame your face and bring polish to a special outfit.Very good condition.
