These magnificent ear pendants are reproductions of styles seen during the Georgian Era (circa 1714-1837).
Rose cut diamonds and natural pearls are set in silver-topped gold that has been pierced, cut, filed and polished by hand.
The earrings have two points of articulation, allowing for movement. They are fastened by back-to-front wire hook closures, typical of the Georgian Era. Please Note: There is minor evidence of repair using lead solder.
The earrings are set with four (4) natural baroque twinned pearls. The pearls are natural, not cultured. They are white/silver, and display various colored overtones, such as green and rosé. When pearls display more than 1 color overtone, it is known as orient, which is highly desirable.
The earrings are also set with a total of seventy-six (76) crudely cut and polished, antique rose cut diamonds. They total approximately 1/2 carat.
Overall measurements of the earrings are 2.75" from top to bottom.
Gross weight of the earrings is 17.5 grams.
