Customer Reviews
It is hard to adequately describe the quality & beauty of these earrings. Simply put: they are extremely well made. When I was a young child in the 80s I used to see my mother's friends wearing these along with the other fan & Egyptian motif earrings, and I always wanted to wear them myself. To my delightful surprise Shashi, Laurel Burch's artistic & business partner of MOJ still have these in stock Get them while you can! Fast shipping. Thank you Shashi!!
