DATE: Vintage, c.1960

A strong contender for this week's "most bizarre jewellery" prize... pair of chandelier earrings that are... literally... chandeliers. Each one featuring three simulation pearl candles, suspended from a pearl top by a length of chain. They date from the 1960s (or thereabouts) and I'd really like to know who made them and why. Screw back tops.
