    Just curious. Any help on material and date?
    I mean they are obviously junky earrings but I never really have any thought to earrings like these ..

    They look hand fashioned to me. Definitely not identical. You can test the metal but use advice from someone more knowledgeable than myself. The differences in the stones is crazy.

    Somebody in a factory somewhere assembled the drop part by hand. Some idiot later took them off the original top part and added those junk ear wires. The pendant parts date to the 50s, best guess, and got wet at some point. The wires are probably 1980s.

    Yes, the 50s were still the Retro period, when any old style was revived, and these look Arts & Crafts inspired. Pretty, but a few issues.
    Yes, everyone was putting impossibly thin kidney wires on earrings in those days.
