Antique Georgian Charles X demi-parure set earrings ear pendants and brooch in original fitted box. 18k yellow gold, natural seed pearls, enamel and diamonds. Made in France circa 1825. Measurements: Earrings are approximately 2 1/8 inch (5.5cm) long, not including the wires. Brooch is approximately 1 1/2 inches (3.75cm) long. Combined weight is 8.9 grams. Jewelry set consisting of a pair of long, pendant earrings that can be worn more simply by day or more elegantly by night. Earrings like this are known as’Top/drop or day/night’ because the surmounts can be worn alone by day and the pendant drops added at night for a more elegant look. The earrings are long and rectangular. Gold mounts surround a rectangular black enamel drop and a square black enamel top. Both top and drop are adorned with additional scrolling and fruit for added interest. Under the tops there are minute flowers. The centers of both top and drops are set with a flower composed of small seed pearls raised in a silver collette. Their centers appear to include tiny rose cut diamonds but they are so small as to be barely visible. Wires are inserted back to front of ear lobe and are comfortable to wear. Brooch echoes the design of the earrings on a slighly larger scale. Still in their original, fitted box, this is a beautiful set, about 200 years old that can be worn today with as much effect and Wow appeal as when they were first made. The quality of the workmanship is fabulous and the look is stunning. Black may have been the color of mourning, but today it is the color of the chic, elegant woman. This set will match and enhance any outfit. Condition: good with negligible wear commensurate with age. Please see enlarged’photos and do not hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer. Marks: there are a number of hallmarks on each earring: the loops are hallmarked and the wires of the tops have both the makers mark and the ram’s head, which indicates Paris 1819 – 1838. Condition: considering the age of this set, the condition is amazing. Minor wear to the box but the little metal hooks of the clasp are in good order. Pin of brooch is not totally straight. Black enamel has no chips/cracks/damage of any sort. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE. See our policies below. Add Me to Your Favorite Sellers. Feel free to ask question.
