Black Bakelite & Diamanté 1930s Earrings by Schreiber & Hiller

At the top of these 1930s earrings is a link with engraved sides that holds seven diamantés. At the bottom is another diamanté-set link flanked by black Bakelite (or Galalith) on three sides. In the middle is a single stone. Each earring has a small chip of Bakelite at the bottom, but that minor flaw in no way detracts from the beauty of this pair. The original ear clips were converted to sterling silver ear wires with lever backs for pierced ears by my expert jeweler.
