Fruit Basket Earrings
Wow! This is a vintage treat that will have everyone talking! These earrings
are made of a real woven basket filled with tiny pastel fake fruit that brings to mind the great old movies of Carmen Miranda,
the Brizilian Bombshell who danced to our delight while wearing a headdress filled with fruit. The fruit basket has
a tiny banana and some mangoes in two tones. There are also plastic textured yellow, pink and blue fruits dangling from
a little mango that is mounted on a screw-back finding. The fruit basket measures about 1" across the top, the whole
length of the earring is 1 5/8". This piece is circa 1940's and is in excellent condition.
