"These 1960s chandelier earrings feature starburst-cluster tops densely packed with aurora borealis crystals that offer a signature iridescent flash.

Condition is good vintage; the fringe strands appear intact with no obvious breaks or missing beads. Light patina is present on the metal backings, and select beads show a subtle amber/champagne discoloration, which appears inherent to the material. Clip mechanisms are functional.

Condition
Generally good vintage condition. The hand-wired seed bead fringe strands appear intact on both earrings as seen in photos, with no obvious missing beads or breaks visible. Some light patina is present on the silver-tone metal backing and clip hardware, consistent with age. A small amount of amber/champagne discoloration is visible on select beads — this appears to be an inherent characteristic of the material rather than damage. Clip mechanisms appear functional.
