Vargas RI blue guilloche screwback earrings rosebuds rhinestones vintage costume jewelry ll2543

A charming pair of mid-century earrings from Vargas of Providence Rhode Island. They are screwback and feature light blue guilloche enameling with pink rosebuds surrounded by a frame of clear prongset rhinestones.

These are tiny earrings ideal for a petite, demure woman. They measure 1/2 inch and the condition is superior vintage. They are marked with the Vargas V on a diamond on the screws. This mark was registered by Vargas in 1947 soon after the company began doing business. That date corresponds with the style of the earrings.
