Gold Over Sterling Crystal Screw Back Earrings

I come across pieces that I like quite often, but sometimes I find something that really speaks to me.  I think these Sterling silver screw back earrings are absolutely wonderful, and unique (I have seen a LOT of jewelry!).  I am guessing these are pretty old (most likely the 1920s Art Deco Era), and they each feature a long stem with 5 enamelized green leaves attached.  At the end of each stem is one round cut green crystal and one square cut amber color crystal representing flowers.  Lacy, feminine designs and strong geometrical patterns are typical of Art Deco jewelry.   

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.rubylane.com/ is coming soon.
