A pair of screw-back earrings featuring red faceted glass rhinestones mounted in brass-tone metal settings. Each earring is composed of five stones — one square-cut, two pear-shaped, and two round-cut — arranged in a floral cluster pattern that matches the brooch (2002.050.001) in color and style.
The red rhinestones, described in earlier records as “ruby” stones, are imitation gems made of faceted glass, set in open-backed claw mounts. The screw-back design indicates they were intended for non-pierced ears, a common feature of mid-20th-century fashion jewelry.
