Costume Jewelry EarringsEarrings are the ultimate eye-catchers, and sparkly vintage costume jewelry…
Can never go wrong with clusters, ever! Think I am up to 100 pairs or so and counting :)
I feel the same way thriftfan, hold on to your's! I think about all the pairs I have let go & feel sick! Oh well, until the next find. Thanks for all the love!
Love the screwbacks in the first pic ... sparkly.
The big button earrings always remind me of my Mom in the late 50s & 60s.
I'm with you - never met an earring I didn't like.
Good haul, vintagemad, you (and thriftfan) are my earring idol.

Thank you FineLines, my grandma wore nothing but the big button pearl clip on. When ever I find a pair I know she would have liked, I think of her sitting down to take a phone call and pulling the right earring off! Needless to say I inherited a ton of single clip earrings:)
My mother in law was a school teacher after the second world war and we just found all kinds of this stuff in her hope chest. She passed away years ago but we didn't know where the key to the hope chest was until recently. Needless to say we are learning about jewelery.
Post some if you can, there are plenty of us jewelry fanatics here maybe we can help?
