Apparently they were popular before this time period too. I just found
an advertisement for a sale on jewelry from December 1896. It says
"Solid Gold Baby Rings - From 50c up."

They barely fit the tip of the pinkie on a smallwoman's hand. They are not earrings. Time period would be 1930/40's inUS in family of Galician/Russian-Pole descent. Anybody seen these?
