Materials and Features:
Hand Crafted Wire Wrapped Cluster: A classic example of mid-century Austrian jewelry design. This pairs seven stunning faceted bicone crystal beads meticulously hand-threaded and wire wrapped onto a silver-tone sieve-plate base. This traditional assembly creates a beautiful, dimensional cluster layout while ensuring every single bead remains tightly locked in place.
Austrian Stamped Paddle Clips: The clip-on earrings feature comfortable, contoured mechanical paddle-clip fasteners built directly into the reverse backing. Stamped with the official "Made Austria" regional maker's mark, these premium vintage clips offer a secure, slip-free fit without pinching the ear.
Authentic Swarovski Crystal Quality: Boasting a premium 12g weight, the earrings are crafted using genuine vintage Swarovski leaded crystal beads that are completely clear and entirely free of internal air bubbles. The design features a substantial 12mm central focal crystal bead surrounded by 8mm accent bicones for striking geometric depth.
Brilliant Aurora Borealis Finish: The crystal surfaces feature Swarovski's famous vacuum-sputtered Aurora Borealis (AB) coating. This special finish plays with the light, reflecting brilliant, iridescent multi-color flashes across every single facet for maximum vintage sparkle.

Age/Origin: 1950’s (Mid-Century Costume Era / Austria)

Other: This gorgeous pair represents an authentic piece of mid-century Austrian design history, crafted during the golden era of European crystal export.

The combination of hand-woven wire-wrapped backing plates and the crisp "Made Austria" stamp serves as an absolute guarantee of its genuine European vintage heritage.
