Vintage White Porcelain Seagull Screw Back Earrings with Gilded Edges

Two white seagulls caught mid-flight, wings spread wide and edged in scalloped gold, like birds lifting off a shoreline at first light. These 1950s–1960s earrings are glazed to a soft, glossy finish, with tiny painted eyes and gilded beaks. Each is mounted on an adjustable gold-tone screw back for a secure, comfortable fit without piercing. They are a sweet coastal piece, subtle enough for everyday wear.
