Exquisite, extraordinary pair of old silver earrings set with multiple tiny hand, cut paste stones. Additionally, these have drops of lead crystal on the bottom of the chandelier, and must have been absolutely amazing in 19th century lighting. Fully 3 1/2 inches long.
They are marked 925, no makers marks whatsoever, quite likely French, but this is what’s known as an educated guess. Additionally, we’re not gonna get much closer than second half of the 19th century in dating them. There is a single stone missing, along with a little damage to the setting, visible in photos.
They came in with no original backs, which were probably the stopper type, and these posts are hefty, which makes sense given the weight of the earring, but is too substantial for a lot of modern butterfly backs, particularly, and silver. Currently has silicone backs, these are what they came in with, and we do think the posts are original and probably not a later conversion. Absolutely amazing, completely wearable, despite the missing stone, and ready for another party CC.
