Materials and Features:

• Mid-Century Moonglow Material DNA: An exceptional display of premium molded thermoset plastic (thermoplastic). This specialty material features a vibrant chartreuse green hue with a built-in pearlized Moonglow sheen that reacts dynamically when caught by moving light.

• Layered Multi-Tier Engineering: A complex three-layer architecture utilizing a central brass tubular eyelet rivet that passes completely through the die-struck metal backing, the molded leaf structure, and a top-facing gold-tone domed bead cap pin to create a permanent compression lock.

• Whirling Windmill Silhouette: A striking geometric pinwheel design that beautifully captures the playful, kinetic graphic energy of the mid-century American fashion boom.

• Die-Struck Base Metal Base: Built on a solid, magnetic cold-rolled steel base backing plate featuring a heavily polished gold-tone alloy electroplated finish with smooth tumble-polished outer edges.

Type: Clip-on earrings with proprietary scalloped flower-shape mechanical paddle assemblies

Age/Origin: Circa 1950's–1960's / USA

Marks: Unmarked (Attributed to Lisner based on signature crown-flared paddle hardware, machine-crimped hollow eyelet rivet assembly, and signature molded thermoset Moonglow components)

Other: The D. Lisner company intentionally left many of their mid-century geometric and thermoplastic collections completely unsigned, choosing instead to distribute them to department stores on original branded card stock or paper hangtags. This preserved the mirror-smooth, high-gloss polish of the reverse metal backplates and protected the wearable design from the edge distortion caused by heavy factory die-stamping tools.

Measurements:

• Weight: 9.1g (combined pair mass)

• Thickness: Approx. 0.375”

• Dimensions: Approx. 0.875” x 0.875”

Condition: Excellent Archival Condition. The molded chartreuse thermoset elements remain perfectly bright and crisp with zero cracking, surface dullness, or chipping. The gold-tone plating exhibits a mirror-smooth luster on both front and back with no visible green corrosion or pitting, and the mechanical tension-spring clip-on backs retain full structural snap.
