A beautifully romantic pair of antique hand-painted drop earrings crafted in early plastic, likely dating to the early 20th century.
These elongated black panels feature delicately hand-painted roses in soft blush and blue tones with green dot detailing, giving them that charming folk-art feel often seen in early celluloid and composition jewelry. The dimensional floral tops echo the same hand-painted motif, creating a cohesive and feminine design.
The matte patina and slight irregularities add to their authentic antique character.

These feel wonderfully Arts & Crafts inspired — perfect with linen, lace blouses, Edwardian-inspired dresses, or layered into a true heirloom look. A rare and charming example of early plastic jewelry with hand-painted detail.
