Vintage Clear Rhinestone Chandelier Dangle Earrings | Silver-Tone | Screw-Back | Mid-Century Glam
Three cascading strands of prong-set clear rhinestones fall from a starburst rhinestone cluster — each strand terminating in a faceted square stone that catches and throws light with every movement. The dark rhodium-tone setting deepens the stones' sparkle, lending a cooler, more dramatic quality than gold-tone would allow. Screw-back closures date these to the mid-century, when this style of evening earring — architectural, luminous, unapologetically present — was worn to be noticed.
