Story
Los Angeles in the mid-20th century was a hotbed for a specific kind of 'Hollywood Regency' style that favored bold silhouettes and golden opulence.
Maker / Origin
Lewis Segal was a prominent California-based costume jeweler known for high-quality casting and a signature 'sun-drenched' gold finish. His workshop catered to high-end department stores like I.
Condition & Value
The earrings appear to be in very good vintage condition. The gold-tone finish shows minimal 'pitting' or wear-through, which is common in lesser-quality vintage pieces. Lewis Segal is a collectible name in the vintage costume market.
