Vintage Binder Brothers Sterling Screw Back Earrings | Tiered Faceted Clear Glass Crystal Drops | Signed BB | Christmas Tree Shape | 1.25"

Three little tiers of sparkle that look suspiciously like tiny Christmas trees. Very festive, very well made.

These are vintage faceted clear glass crystal drop earrings on sterling silver screw-back findings, signed by Binder Brothers of New York. Each earring stacks three crisply faceted glass cones into a tiered drop that catches the light from every angle.

Vintage Binder Brothers Sterling Screw Back Earrings with Tiered Glass Crystal Drops

Binder Brothers was a New York jewelry company that began in the 1920s, known for well-made sterling silver and gold-filled pieces. Their mark is two overlapping circles, each with a capital B, and you'll find it here on both screw backs next to the word STERLING. Fun Florida footnote: by 1948, Lawrence Binder was citrus farming in Pinellas County and running a wholesale jewelry business in Clearwater.

• Material: Sterling silver screw-back findings, faceted clear glass crystal drops
• Maker: Binder Brothers, signed with the overlapping BB mark and STERLING on both screw backs
• Design: Three stacked faceted cones per earring, a tiered Christmas tree shape
• Closure: Screw back, for non-pierced ears
• Length: About 1 1/4 inches
• Color: Clear and silver
• Era: Mid-century, likely 1940s to 1950s
• Condition: Very good vintage condition. Screw backs turn smoothly. The drill channels through the crystals are frosted and show some old residue inside, and the facet edges show light age wear consistent with their years. Please see photos.

Clear enough to go with everything, sparkly enough for holiday parties, and a lovely signed piece for anyone who collects vintage sterling.
