French lace earrings

I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin." ~Coco Chanel, April 29, 1939

From the late 1940's, these rare brass lace like findings are so delicate and intricate. These graceful filigree pieces hand from brass earwire.

(Filigree diameter: 1.75"W)
