Description from the seller
Exclusive 18k Gold Balconcillo Earrings with Mother-of-Pearl and Citrines - Alfonsine Historical Jewelry (19th/20th Century)
Magnificent pair of antique earrings in Alfonsine style, a collector's piece representative of traditional Spanish high jewelry from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These earrings feature a hand-carved, openwork structure with exceptional refinement.
The design is characterized by its lower "balconcillo" (balcony-like) section, from which delicate rows of seed pearls (natural small seed pearls) hang, giving the piece an organic movement and a unique luminosity. In the center, two warm-colored oval-cut citrines preside, perfectly integrated into a period closed setting.

Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
