Fantastic designer William Spratling modernist 3D domed sterling silver earrings. They feature a linear pattern almost reminiscent of a seashell. Subtle yet very classy design that will always be in style. They are in good working order with light patina and wear to the backs. Not surprising as they are almost 100 years old. The mark dates it to 1940-1946. Wonderful collector's set. The last photo is from the book reference below (Page 172) and shows this exact mark and the time period it dates to.
They could easily and inexpensively be converted to post back earrings by a jeweler.
