19th Century “Poissardes” Style Gold & Silver Earrings Normandy Rare Poissarde style earrings crafted in 9 kt gold and silver, each weighing 4.6 grams. These exquisite earrings are dated to the second half of the 19th century, identified by the distinctive swan hallmark, and are likely from Normandy, a region rich in traditional jewelry from the 18th and 19th centuries. Historically, Norman women’s headdresses covered their ears, preventing the wearing of earrings. When the headwear allowed, women began wearing the long, articulated “Poissardes” earrings, as seen in this pair. This pair is an exceptional example, preserved in excellent condition, with no visible damage or repair marks. Lightweight yet striking, they combine historic craftsmanship with versatile style.
