Three Color Laminated Bakelite Dangle Drop Earrings - Item No. E171This darling pair resemble fat little bumblebees, though the actual colors are Mississippi mud, marbled cream corn yellow and black. Both the Mississippi mud and cream corn colors test positive with Simichrome; the black does not, but this isn't unusual. These measure 2" in overall length: the little brown 'button' at the top is just under 1/2" diameter and the laminated, three color drop measures 1 1/4" in length and a little over 1/2" at the widest point. The clip back mechanism may be replacement hardware, since they are shiny bright and have little to no wear.$58.00 USD |
