air of vintage screw-back earrings dating to the 1930s–1940s, featuring molded celluloid banana motifs mounted on gold-tone metal filigree backs.
The bananas are early molded cellulose plastic with soft translucency and subtle hand-applied color at the stems. The filigree backs are finely detailed metal with a traditional screw-back mechanism, consistent with pre-1950 costume jewelry construction.
These earrings are an example of Depression-era novelty jewelry, when figural and whimsical motifs were produced using early plastics paired with decorative metal findings.
