Substantial Florentine design platform with a large faceted oval amethyst crystal embellished with tiny seed pearls and emerald crystals. These are a throwback to Victorian and Edwardian motifs that were made to signal solidarity with the women's suffragette movement. The combination of Green, White, and Violet ("Give Women the Vote") was a delightfully subversive message communicated through design. The Victorian revival in the 1950s would have encompassed these stunning earrings. The photos couldn't capture the purple hue -- it's deep and rich and resonant. Not signed, but most likely Florenza. A small but mighty conversation piece! 1"L x 0.75"W. See less
