Make a statement at your next event with a pair of disco era Richard Kerr earrings. These pieces are a real showstopper! The incredible amount of Austrian crystals create so much bling. I always get stopped when I wear mine. These are made of black crystal pave, they are lightweight clip-ons, gold plated metal good size loop that allows them to dangle as you move. They are in really good condition, some of the crystals have fallen but it's hard to tell since the imprint of the missing crystals also reflect light. I only noticed with my reading glasses.

Richard Kerr:
The history of costume jewelry brand Richard Kerr began in 1946 when WWII veteran, US Navy Lieutenant Richard S. Kerr joined his father’s business. Following his father’s d
eath in 1966, Richard took over and directed the company until his retirement in 1983.
Traditionally, to create a stunning sparkling effect, the company’s craftsmen used Austrian crystals, the number of which in one piece could be more than a thousand. It is hard to imagine how much labor and patience one had to have to manually insert each crystal. The marking on the back side of each item includes “Richard Kerr” on an oval cartouche.
The brand’s high quality, handcrafted products (mostly earrings) which were produced from 1946 to 1983, are highly collectible today. -Jewelry Kaleidoscope
