How does the screw help date an earring? These are simply a magical pair, high quality prong set with clear amethyst colour.

"Women enjoyed a new freedom in ear wear in the early 20th century with the invention of the screw-back earring. Piercing one's ear oftentimes was considered barbaric. With the advent of the screw-back, more women were able to reconcile the wearing of earrings"

Additionally, screw-backs offered greater freedom with style and shape of earrings that were comfortable to wear. With the surge of the Roaring '20s and art deco style, women wore long chandelier, angled and straight designs. Ear adornment also became popular among U.S. sailors during this time. Legend holds that a pierced ear typically meant that the sailor had crossed the equator or sailed around the world. A piercing in the left ear suggested that the sailor survived a tragic disaster, such as a shipwreck.(content for reprint)
