Identifying Vintage Guitar Earrings with Mother of Pearl

Question
I have a very old pair of clip on earrings they are a design of a guitar and have mother of pearl as the body of the guitar.Can you help me find something out about them?

Answer
Hello Sally and thank you for your inquiry. Guitar earrings were a popular southwestern design and were made of different materials including mother of pearl. There is difficulty in marking earrings, but sometimes you will find a hallmark or gold/silver assay mark on them. I have included below a sample of some types of guitar earrings from ebay.com.  You may be able to find something similar to yours there.  To clean mother of pearl us mild soapy warm water.  Just click on or copy and paste the below url into your browser address field and hit enter:
