Vintage Petit Point Screw Back Earrings With Roses

Elegant screw back earrings featuring a beautiful floral embroidery on a black background, framed in a silvertone setting. Perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to any outfit. While the term "petit point" is also commonly associated with Zuni Native American jewelry, which features clusters of small, hand-cut stones, this particular style of jewelry with embroidered floral designs is a separate tradition. This style of vintage earrings, often set in filigree or a simple frame, was produced in various places, including Austria. The screw-back closure was a popular alternative to pierced earrings before the 1960s, making these a classic vintage piece.  Beautiful Silvertone, light weight, and vintage. They measure 1 inch long and 3/4 inches wide. They are screw backs and they work as they should. They are in excellent vintage condition with no wear noted. They just need wiped down. The colors are still beautiful after all these years. No fading seen. There are no markings so they will be marked as unbranded. A beautiful pair of earrings from a by gone era.
