There is very little information about this Company, Bugbee & Niles Co., except for the fact that they were in production from 1896 to 1943 in Providence, Rhodes Island.  They first used the mark BN, as seen on these earrings, in 1913.   The gold tone earrings have been set with lovely pear shaped ruby red stones, combined with clear stones in a gold tone frame.  Screw fittings.  Measures 2cm.  In the picture the clear stones look quite grey, in reality they have plenty of sparkle.
