Earrings. Armand cardvx de Richeliev - valuation

Diameter 16 mm. Thickness 2.3 mm. It looks like silver. There is no stigma. Is such a thing valuable?

 

I don't think that Armand-Jean du Plessis, duc de Richelieu had time for "Lucky Lady"...

 

It looks like those are buttons made into earclips.
The mark on the clips is Lucky Lady, but that is probably not the mark of the buttons. The clips look plated, with wear around the edges.
I don't know what the material of the buttons is, but they have rather conspicuous seams and blobs, which is not a sign of the quality I would expect silver buttons to have.

Tagging button collectors @DragonflyWink and @fortheloveofcollectibles .

 

They look like metalized plastic, probably intended as blazer or sweater buttons - most likely the same age as the adapter clips, mid 20th century.

Ooh. Those button adaptor clips are neat, not seen them before.

 

Nor I. Opens up a whole world of...

Doesn't it just, I'd love some.

 

You can almost hear the clicking of the keyboard searching for Lucky Lady ear clips.

 

I found a set of those adapter clip-on earrings in a box of jewelry though unmarked. I think you can also use a large bead as well as a button at least on mine. I saved them since I use clip on earrings to dress up my head bands or use as hair clips.

 

If anyone finds the things on line, do let us know. (Or maybe we need a new business?)

 

Thank you all for the information. I would like to know the value of my find.

 

They are a great idea!.

 

Minimal value, sadly. Although I'd buy them purely for those adaptors.

 

It seems interesting that somebody would want to make those buttons into earrings. Out of all the possibilities ...
