Materials and Features:

• Ruby Red and Clear Vitreous Crystals: High-brilliance, multi-faceted chaton rhinestones in a deep "pigeon-blood" red and ice-clear contrast. The stones exhibit a high-refractive index with sharp-edge faceting, characteristic of mid-century Austrian or Czech crystal.

• Architectural Puddle-Cast Construction: A solid, heavy-gauge gold-tone base (5g) engineered for structural integrity. The "Puddle-Cast" reverse creates a seamless vault that protects internal stone reflectivity and prevents the structural warping common in thin-stamped alternatives.

• Precision Prong-Set Detailing: Individually hand-crimped gold-tone prongs secure every stone. This "Guts-First" engineering ensures long-term security and is a hallmark of mid-century quality over modern glued assemblies.

• Heart-Shield Silhouette: A sophisticated V-shaped cluster design crowned with a single focal chaton for a balanced, regal profile. The design provides a bold, light-catching silhouette on the ear.

• Survivor Mechanical Integrity: Reliable high-tension clip-on backs featuring a wide-paddle design and a solid-rivet hinge. This Survivor spring mechanism remains exceptionally secure and flush with a crisp "snap."

Age/Origin: c. 1950's – 1960's

Marks: Unmarked

Measurements:

• Weight: 5g (Pair) – Confirmed solid-cast estate feel and non-pliable rigidity.

• Dimensions: Approx. 0.875 Inch Length x 0.75 Inch Wide

Condition: Good vintage condition. The stones are bright and securely set with no visible foil degradation (peppering). The gold-tone reverse shows a natural aged patina consistent with its 70-year history; mechanics remain tight and fully functional.
