Pretty pair of amethyst or purple antique screw-back earrings (screwback, screwbacks) signed on both pieces on the outer stem with "Coro". From a bit of research, we believe this mark dates from the 1940's, and this pair has that vintage 40s look, although we can't guarantee the age. The amethyst glass or amethyst rhinestones are prong set in a small flower design with a larger stone at the center (about 5/16 inch diameter) circled by six smaller stones (about 3/16 inch diameter).

This is a matching pair of earrings, measuring across the front 5/8 inch x 5/8 inch, and only about 3/8 inch in depth to the setting (the part which sits against the front of an ear). The prongs and backside metal are gold tone in color (not real gold). We have provided six images including close-up views. Please note that the white "hot spots" are reflections from the camera lighting on the shiny surface. It was difficult to show the Coro signature but you can see it at a distance in one image and close-up in another image, allbeit the close-up view is blurry (sorry, this was the best we could show it).

Attractive and usable pair, but these were worn/used, do show some age/wear and are not mint. All stones are there and from a distance look fine, but on very close inspection we do see a tiny chip on an upper edge of one small rhinestone (and there are possibly other much tinier flakes on other stones), as often happens with wear/use/storage. The surfaces of all stones are either a bit dirty or show some general use wear, we are not sure which (again, nothing seen from a distance when worn). We have not attempted to clean these and are selling them as is/as found. There are green spots on the backside of the metal as commonly happens (with more of this on one piece than the other); we don't know if this can be cleaned away. The metal parts likely also have usual wear, although we don't see anything else in particular to note.

Great as an addition to any collection of this neat Coro jewelry. A crafty person could also remove the screwbacks and convert these into small pins, cuff links or other interesting jewelry.
