I recently acquired several pairs of vintage earrings.

There are the palest of yellows, somewhat translucient, clip-ons. The clips say “Austria”. Any vintage jewelry experts care to share opinions regarding the material here? I’d certainly appreciate it.

I believe it may be some kind of Austrian Crystal.

Yes, I think its some kind of so called milk-glass.
If it’s cold (cool) to the touch (try your lips) it’s glass,
otherwise it’s plastic.
I think they are very pretty and best to compliment a summer dress :)

Great advice from European Goodies! If it’s not glass, it looks like it may be a vintage lucite material. Hard to be sure just from the photos, but I have some very similar and they’re vintage lucite :)

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
