Vintage Gold Tone Open Heart Dangle Earrings with Red Rhinestone

Description
Small open hearts from the 1970s–1980s, each cradling a single red rhinestone in a prong-set, starburst mount. The heart is formed from a folded gold-tone ribbon with a brushed inner face, so the stone sits like a seed inside its husk. They hang from long kidney wires that close for security. Light and simple for everyday wear.

Materials
Gold-tone metal, red rhinestones
