Comments: They would make beautiful bridal or special occasion earrings.  However they are still versatile enough for daily wear. 

History: The term "Aurora Borealis" refers to the iridescent, rainbow-like coating applied to crystals and glass beads to create a dazzling, shimmering effect, inspired by the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights. This coating, developed by Swarovski in the 1950's is now a hallmark of sparkling jewelry and crystal pieces. 

Rhodium plating, a process of applying a thin layer of rhodium to jewelry, gained popularity in the 1930s and 1950s, initially for decorative purposes and later as a luxurious finish for white gold, enhancing its brilliance and resilience.
