Description: It's "cha-cha" time!What better way to trip the light fantastic than with flashy, shimmery jewelry such as this, a pair of golden bead earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli.Our 1950s pair showcases clusters of dangly, pale golden beads — a jewelry style sometimes referred to as cha-cha.Schiaparelli is not known for this style. Her jewelry pieces are usually more elaborate, with fantasy stones and molded settings. But cha-cha jewelry was popular in the 1950s, and most top designers created versions to appeal to a wider base.Each earring has lots of shiny, pale golden beads, dangling from a mesh base. We counted 18 beads that are about 1/4" rounds, plus one slightly larger faceted bead located at the center and base of the earring. The beads are lightweight, and would shimmy everytime you move (or dance!).The earrings are about 1 1/4" tall and 1 1/2" wide. They are clipbacks. Marked Schiaparelli in script on the clipbacks.In overall excellent condition. All the beads have most of the goldtone surface intact and very shiny. Little visible wear everywhere.
