My dad, Marshall Guyot, loved the texture in this finding. He called it the "fallen coins" texture, and he loved the heaviness of the design combined with the simplicity of the shape. I like the Art Deco nature of them. They do make a nice pair of earrings. At one inch, they are big enough to be noticed and small enough to be worn to work, although I have seen earrings made with this finding where this is the top, posted, and a larger piece of the same style hangs below.
The original design probably dates back to the 1930's.
