Materials and Features:

• High-Brilliance Swarovski Crystal Elements: Features a meticulously engineered cluster layout combining seven round multi-faceted chaton crystals and two sharply defined marquise cut rhinestones per earring. The stones exhibit pristine internal clarity with zero gray spotting or foil separation.

• Seven-Prong Individual Hand-Setting: The round chaton stones are secured using Sherman's premium, historical seven-prong open basket geometry, maximizing lateral light entry and creating high-contrast reflections.

• Heavy Mirror Rhodium Plated Finish: The base metal setting is layered in a highly reflective, commercial-grade rhodium electroplate bath. This creates a mirror-bright, completely tarnish-resistant surface layer that matches the cool tone of the crystals.

• Stippled Stamped Backing Plate Fingerprint: The reverse structural design features a classic, early-period flat circular metal disk with a distinct fine sand-textured stippled pattern, extending to a solid integrated bridge arm that mounts the hinge.

Type: Hinged paddle-back clip-on mechanism with integrated stippled circular structural backing plates.

Age/Origin: Circa 1952 / Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Marks: Unmarked (Definitively attributed to Gustave Sherman based on proprietary stippled disk base reinforcement templates, unique seven-prong cluster cups, and signature early-period hardware layout)

Measurements:

• Weight: 5g

• Thickness: 12mm including the clip mechanism (3mm stone setting depth alone)

• Dimensions: Approx. 0.625” length by 0.50” width

Condition: Excellent Like-New Vintage Condition. The rhodium plating remains incredibly bright, mirror-smooth, and entirely free of wear or peeling. All Swarovski crystals are structurally intact, tightly seated within their prongs, and retain full original brilliance with no dead spots. The paddle clips deliver perfect mechanical alignment and tight spring-back tension.
