Unusual pair of earrings -- using a round stamp, she creates a deeply plannished effect with a more traditional scalloped stamped border.

The way they fit on the ear is quite special.  The rounded tip fastens to a more tapered end that tucks itself behind the edge of the ear. 

Bold and very different, these earrings were 20 years ahead of their time in the late 1980's when Debbie designed them! Her mark is barely visible on the back of each earring, but it is there, in spite of the deep stamping on the other side.

These will go with a suit or that little black dress.
