Sterling silver abstract earrings by Vera Allison. Born in 1902, she worked as a commercial artist after graduating from UC Berkeley. She subsequently became a painter and jewelry designer and died in 1986.

With screwbacks, these could be converted to pierced earrings if desired. Excellent condition, signed and 1 1/4 inch long.

While not readily apparent from my pictures, the stone has an inner glow depending on the light hits the various facets.
