Georgian-era vintage drop earrings in 18 carat yellow gold, with freshwater pearls, measuring 3 cm by 1.4 cm, with a ball-type clasp, consisting of 43 small pearls of about 0.1 mm and a central pearl of about 0.2 mm, with two small pearls missing and no laboratory report.
Description from the seller
Exceptional drop earrings with freshwater pearls dating from the late Georgian era (1820-1869), a jewel of great elegance and historical value that reflects the refined craftsmanship of the 19th century.
Each earring features a delicate pendant design comprising a rectangular upper element decorated with three small pearls set individually in a linear pattern, connected to a spectacular circular central disk that serves as the true decorative focal point of the piece.
The pearls, bead-set, create a lovely dome or rosette effect characteristic of Georgian jewelry, adding volume, texture, and a very special luminosity.
Each earring is composed of 43 pearls of approximately 0.1 mm and a central pearl of 0.2 mm, with overall dimensions of 3 cm x 1.4 cm and a ball clasp.
It is worth noting that, due to the age of the piece, two small pearls are missing, something common in jewelry over 150 years old, although once worn they are not visually noticeable and do not detract from the beauty or historical value of the set.
These earrings were authentic symbols of sophistication in European high society and today are especially coveted by collectors and lovers of antique jewelry for their rarity and extraordinary craftsmanship.
The piece carries no hallmark; the gold has been previously inspected by a professional.
It is shipped well-packaged, by certified and insured mail.
The piece is shipped with standard packaging.
Pickup is available in Madrid or Barcelona, by prior arrangement.
