Description

I purchased these earrings about 2 years ago from another member of Loupe Troop. I have never taken these to be evaluated by a jewelry professional or antique dealer, due to the price point.

These earrings based upon my recollection were sold to me as somewhere between 12 and 15 karat gold, but to be on the safe side I would assume that they are 9 carat because I have never had them tested. There are no gold purity marks on the earrings. The stones were sold to me as pink quartz and again I have never had this tested. These are a closed back earring with foil behind the stones.

I think these came from some other larger piece of jewelry and were made from something that was dismantled, probably a necklace. The leaf design makes me think that these are probably very late Victorian or early art nouveau. They measure approximately 1.25 in top to bottom. These earrings also articulate and move nicely.

According to my records I paid $385 for these plus shipping and I am starting below what I paid. Again, there's a lot I don't know about these, but the cost of the earring did not merit getting them professionally evaluated or appraised.

It is a very wearable pair of earrings that are antique though. I can send them with a pair of earring backs to you if you would like, but the earring backs that came with these are definitely not original. The earring backs that came with these are modern earring backs that someone just added to them over time. A silicone earring back would work on the post as well.

This will be final sale so please ask any questions you have prior to purchase.Cost will vary depending on the location. PayPal friends and family is preferred or please add 3 percent for the fee. in the US if you're shipping is over the flat rate charge I am indicating I will pay the difference.

Thanks and let me know if you have questions. I can also send video through WhatsApp if you want.
