My immediate reaction was 50s - early 60s but I was so unsure I didn't want to say so until I saw Debora's VGG (very good guess).
I try to take care not to stretch my earlobes by wearing heavy earrings too long or too often, but then, I don't have the 'wrong', non-detached...

Skirt lifter?
For me going on about an ivory cameo I found among my artificial ones, see: Blacklight Fun
