Boucher "Soft Touch" Pearl & Rhinestone Earrings

Item #DE1512614

Meassure 1-1/8 x 1-1/4". These gorgeous gold-tone earrings have wildly flowing petals paved with brilliant white rhinestones and glass faux pearl centers. Each pearl is topped with a tiny white rhinestone. Marked BOUCHER with a copyright symbol, SOFT TOUCH, and PAT. 2776555. The patent number and words "soft touch" refer to the unusual clip back. This clip is pressed forward to release the pressure, instead of the usual type of clip which is pulled backwards. This patent was awarded in 1957. It is remarkably comfortable and easy to wear, as the clips hold securely without causing excessive pressure on the earlobe. No missing or dead rhinestones. No wear to pearls or plating. $140.00 (Includes insured shipping to a U.S.A. address)
