These are some stunning vintage Ciner earrings!! Being Ciner, these earrings have the trademark stone settings and fine jewelry look. They are in fabulous condition; doesn't look like they have been worn at all!The top and bottom pieces resemble a spade shape with a cylinder shape in the center between them. That center piece allows some movement. Surrounding the stones are lots of finely faceted rhinestones that give the appearance of diamonds...
