Description

View Large Celluloid Flower Earrings Clip On Rhinestone 1950s Lucite Statement with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Intricate coiled celluloid flowers look almost like delicate filigree. The translucent discs retain their attractive softly frosted appearance with minor surface wear. The rhinestones display minor age-related variation. These extraordinary oversized clip on earrings are pure mid-century statement jewelry, combining large translucent white Lucite discs with dimensional cream celluloid flowers and sparkling clear rhinestones. At approximately 2 inches across, they have an exceptionally dramatic scale while maintaining a delicate, feminine appearance. Each earring features an elaborate dimensional flower constructed from slender coiled celluloid strips. The individual loops spiral inward to create openwork petals with an almost filigree-like appearance. A sparkling clear rhinestone anchors the center, surrounded by tiny pearl-like accents, while additional individually applied clear rhinestones decorate the translucent circular background. The combination of celluloid floral work, early plastic construction, rhinestone embellishment and traditional clip on findings is consistent with mid-century costume jewelry, likely dating to the 1950s to early 1960s. The translucent discs have the softly glowing appearance associated with period Lucite, while the intricate applied celluloid flowers add wonderful dimension and craftsmanship. Unsigned and wonderfully unusual, these are not subtle earrings. Their extremely large scale makes them fabulous examples of the bold statement jewelry that emerged during the mid-century period. Why You Will Be Obsessed With Extremely large 2 inch statement size creates incredible presence. Intricate coiled celluloid flowers look almost like delicate filigree. Translucent Lucite creates a beautiful soft luminous background. Clear rhinestones add plenty of authentic mid-century sparkle. The dimensional construction is far more elaborate than ordinary floral clips. A fabulous bridal white palette with dramatic vintage glamour. They are true statement earrings without feeling visually heavy. Condition Good vintage condition with age-related wear visible in the photographs. The translucent discs retain their attractive softly frosted appearance with minor surface wear. The dimensional celluloid flowers show some age toning and localized discoloration, particularly within a few of the coiled petals. The rhinestones display minor age-related variation. A fine hairline or surface line is visible on one earring near the outer rhinestones. The backs show aged adhesive around the metal clip findings, indicating that the findings may have been reinforced or reattached at some point. The metal clip mechanisms show normal wear from age and use and remain attached. Please review the photographs closely for the best representation of condition.
