1960s Elsa Schiaparelli Iridescent Rhinestone Insect Earrings purse Anjelica HoustonPlayful rhinestone earrings by Elsa Schiaparelli. The earrings consist of two clear pear cut rhinestones with a marquise cut iridescent blue shift rhinestone in between. The fan like arrangement of the three rhinestones is topped off with a round multifaceted rhinestone. The earring in whole looks like a delicate little insect, a design choice in keeping with Schiaparelli's surrealist edge. Although small, these earrings pack a punch! DIMENSIONS H 1
