This pair of earrings by master silversmith James Frappe have a convex shape with a botanical motif impressed in each corner. Hanging from the center is a hammered curved shaped with a coral colored stone bead suspended over it. I have seen a few pieces by Frappe who has been working for over 50 years and still teaching. These are screwback but could be converted. The squared shape is 3/4 x 3/4 and with the dangling pendant the earrings are 1 1/4" long.

Great 3-D design on these earrings comprising 4 balls each surrounded by an open silver ring. Though stacked, the two sides are angled in toward one another. These look remarkably like the design by Kolman Jourdan of Germany but do not carry their mark so either unsigned or potentially a copy. They are 1 1/4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide and for pierced ears. Lightweight and comfortable, though design gives a substantial look.
