Antique Victorian earrings ear pendants. 18k gold, sapphires and diamonds. Made in France, late 19th century.Independent appraisal available to new owner.
Tear drop shape. A very simple rosecut diamond surmount suspends the drop via gold loops that allow the drop to swing and sway as the wearer moves. The drop is composed of a beautiful, bright pink gem surrounded by a border of small diamonds. These earrings are all about the pink sapphires. Beautiful color which some might call bubble-gum pink. Great clarity allows for gleam and glint. Additional eye appeal thanks to the swing and sway as the wearer moves. Subtle and elegant. Original wires have been replaced by posts.
owl marks indicate 18k gold of unknown maker. Swan indicates sterling silver. Butterfly stopper/catchers are also marked for 18k gold (750).
Good with minor wear commensurate with age. Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
Do you prefer antique jewelry to gorgeous gems? No worries - these earrings combine both. They are antique and they incorporate the prettiest pink sapphires. No doubt they were worn to a ball and to many an elegant dinner. The silver over the gold indicates that they were made in an era when diamonds were believed to show off to best effect in candle or gas light in a silver setting. Hence the thin layer of silver over the gold mounts. We can only imagine the ladies who enjoyed these versatile ear pendants over the centuries and amazingly, they are as versatile and wearable today as they were well over 100 years ago.
