Description: A spectacular pair of Judith McCann rare wingback earrings featuring lovely baroque style faux pearls. For those unfamiliar with "wingback" earrings, these were an ingenious 1940s patented design by jewelry designer Judith McCann that allowed earrings to be held in place securely without discomfort. This mechanism boasted a pair of tiny wings that slipped over the curved cartilage of the ear just above the ear lobe. This design was revolutionary due to its flexibility and ability to be adjusted to each individual ear. By evenly distributing weight in the hollow curve of the ear and not at the edge of the ear lobe, the design was especially suited for earrings of considerable weight and size. We have included photos of the patent to illustrate this. In good condition overall, some of the smaller pearls show discoloration, shows oxidation to brass HPO-V905 Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
