Can you ear me?

Out of all the categories of jewelry -- necklaces, brooches, bracelets, earrings -- my least favorite are earrings. Nevertheless, I recently found three pairs of awesome AWESOME vintage earrings. 

First up, these utter beauties...

Here's another view.

These are super super neat and BIG.

 Like two full inches big.

Both of the above on clip on/clip back earrings.  These sweet damascene earrings are, quite obviously, for pierced ears.

Note that they look way sweeter in person.
