Vintage Beaded Shoulder Epaulettes or Fringe Trim Paire

This pair of vintage beaded accessories features a teardrop or crescent-shaped base constructed from a woven cream-colored textile band. From these bands, numerous strands of elongated 'bugle' beads and small seed beads are suspended, creating a dense, cascading fringe effect. The beads appear to be composed of white or iridescent glass or high-quality plastic, giving off a subtle shimmer. The craftsmanship suggests 20th-century costume or fashion embellishment, likely from the 1950s through the 1980s, often used to accent shoulders on gowns or as decorative collars. The fringe strands vary in length, with the longest central strands creating a pointed, V-shaped silhouette. Upon inspection, the threading holding the beads appears intact, though there is potential for mild yellowing of the fabric base consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks, but the uniform application of beads reflects a professional manufacturing standard for garment trimmings. The items show a slight waviness in the base ribbon, indicating they have been previously stored or possibly detached from a garment.
