Vintage Weiss clip-on earrings featuring a creamy white, celluloid-like base with a dome shape studded with different shaped rhinestones. These earrings, dating back to the 1950s, resemble small sparkling disco balls with a retro aesthetic. Weiss, an American jewelry maker active from 1942 to 1971, was known for creating jewelry sets with crystal rhinestones, often using imported Austrian crystals. The earrings in the image appear to be in good condition, with all original and sparkling stones. The celluloid, an early type of plastic, is also well-preserved. Celluloid was popular as a substitute for materials like ivory and was used in jewelry making from the early 1900s. These earrings are a classic example of Weiss's work and a fine addition to any vintage jewelry collection.
