Vintage Faux Opal & Pink Rhinestone Screw-Back Earrings | Gold-Tone Floral Setting | Mid-Century

A prong-set oval faux opal — creamy white with a warm pink-peach flash — sits above a small open-work gold-tone setting accented with three round pink rhinestones arranged in a trefoil pattern. The combination of iridescent stone and soft pink accent creates something that reads as both delicate and considered. Screw-back closures date these confidently to the 1950s, when this scale and palette — feminine without being fussy — was a mid-century staple for daytime dressing.
