Belle Epoque Jewelers, Victorian Turqoise and Pearl Dangle Earrings c. 1870

These stunning earrings were crafted by hand during the Napoleon III Era of France, circa 1860. They feature a convenient and accessible swan neck earring back for pierced ears. They are comprised of a teardrop shaped upper sleeper which holds a prong set turquoise securely. The bottom pendant plays with textured and smooth gold and features a matching line of pearls and turquoise which are also securely prong set. They are light enough to wear comfortably but big enough to make a lasting impression. One of the most interesting design choices for this piece is that the smooth gold does not lay flat but is designed at an angle, which adds a very interesting geometric, angular shape to contrast the flowing design of the oval which is overlaid. Certainly a one of a kind piece for the astute collector, this will easily gain a treasured place in your collection.
