Some images may have been magnified to show you details. I use a penny as a prop to help you gauge the size. Unless mentioned in the written description, the colors on my screen are the colors of the piece as I see it. Just look at the pictures! The earrings are vintage and I picked them up with some other great items I will be listing - all in excellent condition.
They are preowned and not new. I called them " near mint" because to me, I think most folks would want to change out the little foam padding that are attached to the back - that is all! To me, the earrings were hardly worn if worn at all and were obviously well taken care of. However, I provide images as a major part of the description for you to be the judge as to the earrings condition. I do think they are wonderful & would make a great gift for a vintage or Nina Ricci lover or would be a fantastic addition to your own personal collection. Most of the time, I try not to disturb any vintage/preowned jewelry by cleaning and/or polishing it in order to keep it in its original patina leaving it to your discretion. I do not want to take a chance ruining something. Depending on your own taste, you can either clean or polish it or keep it in its original state. Vintage or preowned jewelry typically shows wear constant with its age. That is why we love it so much. It is not new or professionally cleaned and I have no idea where it has been before I received it. Thanks so much for looking!
