These sweet cameo screw back earrings were made by Wells, a company founded in 1922 by Raymond L. Wells. I believe these earrings are from the 1940s. The silhouette is made of mother-of-pearl which is adhered to a green background made of glass, or another semi-precious stone. Wells, Inc. manufactured jewelry in Attleboro, MA, and were known for producing movable charms and other jewelry. Wells ceased the production of jewelry in 1978.
