<p>[QUOTE="Curioser, post: 10465340, member: 13823"][ATTACH=full]526430[/ATTACH] They have exceptionally bright paste stones and the center stones are 20mm in diameter. Length is 1 5/8". The stones are set on a curve but the back bars are straight. "Made in France" is stamped on each bar. Thus, I presume they are 1914 or later? (McKinley Tarriff act of 1890) The metal appears to be gilt copper or brass.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what are they? I was thinking shoe jewels the they would have to be sewn on. And the straight bar would not be conducive to hugging the vamp of the foot. Any ideas? TIA!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
