Vintage Gumball Prize Elephant Charm Pierced Earrings

A wonderfully whimsical bit of mid-century nostalgia—tiny plastic prize elephants transformed into playful dangling earrings. The creamy ivory-colored elephants have raised trunks, curled tails and plenty of molded personality. Originally made as novelty charms, most likely for gumball or vending machines, they now dangle from simple goldtone French hooks. Please note that the elephants are vintage plastic rather than genuine ivory. Era: Circa 1950s–60s Material: Molded plastic and goldtone metal Color: Creamy ivory Closure: French hooks for pierced ears Measurements: 1 5/8 inches high by 1 inch wide Condition: Excellent vintage condition Markings: None Curator’s Note: Once a tiny prize, now a conversation piece. These are precisely the sort of cheerful oddity that makes vintage jewelry so much fun.
