A sweet example of celluloid jewelry with a patent number noted on the ear clips. Floral pattern with rhinestone center, each earring features a silver tone patterned ear clip imprinted with patent #1967965 assigned to Ballou & Co, a 130 y/o findings company. This clip manufacture was used on earrings through @ 1940. Charming small flower and leaf design fashioned into small bouquets accented with rhinestones. These earrings are about the size of a dime and still have plenty of sparkle power. The patterned clips are comfortable on the ears. Color is a bit yellowed probably more from cigarette smoke than age but have an old ivory look to them.

Rhinestone Costume JewelryImitation gems have been substituted for their costly brethren in necklaces…
This clip finding was utilised until at least 1959 in Sarah Coventry's 'Pearl Wardrobe'.
Hello Firefox. How funny - I just wore these sweet little earrings Saturday. One of the few clips that don't torture my ear lobes!
They are indeed comfortable unlike my many Vendome clips, ouch!
