Vintage Bugbee & Niles Orchid Earrings with Garnet Rhinestone — 1940s–50s Signed

A 1940s–50s pair of sculptural orchid earrings signed B.N. for Bugbee & Niles — one of the most collectible American costume jewellery makers of the mid-century. Each earring is a fully three-dimensional orchid in gold-tone metal: ruffled petals, a veined leaf below, and a deep garnet-red rhinestone set at the centre in a prong setting. The proportions are botanical and precise.
