The design of these earrings is unique: a large central glass crystal with a star-shaped cut, surrounded by smaller, shimmering crystals. It is most likely a Swarovski-type pressed crystal, known for its optical "star" effect (also called a "rivoli" cut). The clasp is a classic "clip-back" style, used from the 1950s to the 1980s. Although there is no marking, the construction and style suggest a possible origin.Possible designers:Weiss (1950-60), whose design is very similar to the rivoli, with a central crystal, metal base and bright sparkle. This manufacturer's jewelry is sometimes unmarked, but this shape of earrings is very close to their collections. Kramer (1950-70) also used a similar silver metal and rivoli stones, so the clips are identical to this model.
