Each large oval earring features a dark porcelain cabochon decorated with a brilliantly colored folk-art botanical composition. Each porcelain cabochon is surrounded by an elaborate gold-tone filigree setting with scrolling openwork and delicate wire details. These fabulous signed West Germany flower earrings capture the exuberant European floral aesthetic of the 1950s. Each large oval earring features a dark porcelain cabochon decorated with a brilliantly colored folk-art botanical composition. Against the nearly black ground, dramatic red poppy or rose blossoms are paired with vivid cobalt blue cornflower or forget-me-not-style flowers, fresh green foliage and tiny yellow accents. This distinctive dark-ground floral porcelain jewelry was especially fashionable during the 1950s and 1960s and was produced in West Germany in numerous variations. The intense red, blue and green palette gives these earrings the appearance of tiny European floral paintings and makes them particularly striking from a distance. Each porcelain cabochon is surrounded by an elaborate gold-tone filigree setting with scrolling openwork and delicate wire details. A sparkling aurora borealis rhinestone crowns each earring, reflecting flashes of blue, pink, green and gold as the light changes. The combination of richly decorated porcelain, dimensional filigree and AB rhinestones gives the pair wonderful texture and unmistakable mid-century glamour. The clip backs are signed W. GERMANY, confirming West German manufacture. The country-of-origin mark, floral porcelain, ornate filigree construction, aurora borealis accents and overall styling support a circa 1950s to 1960s date. At approximately 1.5 inches, these are substantial statement earrings with the elaborate construction and saturated color that make West German floral costume jewelry so appealing. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It Dramatic red poppies practically glow against the black porcelain. Cobalt blue flowers create a gorgeous contrast with the brilliant reds. Large 1.5 inch proportions give them fabulous statement presence. Aurora borealis rhinestones flash rainbow colors as they catch the light. Intricate gold-tone filigree adds romantic Old World detail. Signed W. GERMANY provides desirable vintage provenance. The folk-art floral design looks like a pair of miniature paintings. They deliver quintessential 1950s European maximalist glamour. Condition Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear visible in the photographs. The decorated porcelain cabochons retain exceptionally vibrant floral color with some surface and finish wear consistent with age. The gold-tone filigree settings and clip backs show patina, oxidation and finish variation, while the aurora borealis rhinestone accents exhibit age-related surface wear. Both clip mechanisms are present. Please review all photographs closely as they are an important part of the condition description.
