Original 1950s aurora borealis rhinestone crystal earrings by Schoffel & Co. An innovative design produced around 1955 after the invention by a fellow Austrian crystal manufacturer, Daniel Swarovski, who began coating crystals with a special iridescent sheen. These clip on earrings are in a diamond shaped array of round and baguette-shaped stones. In very good vintage condition with very light surface wear to the coating on some of the crystals. Marked with the distinctive crown to the reverse.

Schoffel & Co is one of the best known of the Austrian costume jewellery manufacturers and were active in the early 1930s through to the 1960s.
