    Probably 80s, the plastic ear lobe buffer pads are hard and brittle. 1 inch long. I’m sure I’ve another pair somewhere with this same makers mark so apologies if I may have posted this mark before. Any ideas please, might be U.K. makers @Ownedbybear @KSW? Thanks, just want to be sure they aren’t anything special before they go into car boot tin.

    This era earring has a following right now if the maker is one that is collected. I just sold a bunch of 80s/90s clips for decent $, Dior etc. All buyers were Chinese or Russian (but with American addresses.)

    These look like a very nicely made pair. Can I ask, is this side section I've circled patterned metal or are there little channel set rhinestones in there?

    Huh, that one is not even remotely familiar to me. I hope someone has an answer for you.

    Illusion jewels has a page that id's jewelry by the patterns on the back if you have no luck with the mark, but IDK how comprehensive it is. Here's the site:

    edit: don't know if you noticed that the rhinestones seem to have fake prongs, perhaps to give the illusion of a better quality item.

    I've seen it, can't remember off hand. I would not car boot those, and I'd be VERY happy to find them at a car boot!

    The channel is plain, that’s just a reflection of some of the prongs.
    I don’t eBay so it will be Vintage Fair for these. They are fairly well made but there’s a green patch under a few of the stones.

    Thanks for the link, I’ve seen some of those textures on pieces I have. I have had a good look on costume sites for fancy Ls and Ws in makers marks but nada. Think that it is likely a European maker. Yes, the prongs don’t hold in the stones, in fact one stone has already dropped out.
