[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4555573, member: 2844"]A beautiful 19th century gold and taille d'épargne set, imo. Screwback earrings were introduced in the 1890s, but this set is probably 20 years or so older. It looks like both the screwbacks and the pin construction are replacements, possibly replaced at different times, the pin later. The original pin would have had a tube hinge and a wire C-clasp. About the date of screwbacks: My grandmother was born in the mid-1890s, and she never had her ears pierced, not even as a child. The women in her family always followed the latest fashion, so no pierced ears for her, she only wore screwbacks.[/QUOTE]
