Vintage French Rivoli Chandelier Earrings

These are a wicked pair of statement earrings. They have to be some of the bling-iest earrings I have ever found. Beautifully crafted with two foil-backed Rivoli crystals set into gold plated metal. Their construction is of very high quality work and they are a heavy pair of earrings. It is difficult to capture their sparkle with a camera but they are reminiscent of the crystal drops of an antique chandelier.
