<p>[QUOTE="LucyLocket, post: 9488391, member: 13859"]I found these glass earrings in a charity shop a couple of days ago and just loved the vibrant colours. I assumed they were Murano but having done a bit of googling it would seem that they were by Archimede Seguso for Chanel in the 1960s. They are unmarked as were the ones I found in my search. I know there were other Venetian makers who did very similar glass jewellery - mainly necklaces - but I can only find earrings like these attributed to Seguso. Have I found treasure??!!!</p><p>The only fault is that the metal cup fittings & rondelle are quite tarnished[ATTACH=full]445452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]445453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]445454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]445455[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]445456[/ATTACH] on one earring. I'm not sure how to go about cleaning it as I'm worried I'll damage the pearls in the process as it will be quite a fiddly job on such a small area. They are just over an inch long. </p><p>Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
