About this lot

Description

A pair of opal and diamond ear pendants with screw-back fittings, each designed as a flower, perhaps a pansy, of round and oval cabochon opals around an old cut diamond centre, surmounted by two more diamonds and two graduated round opals, beneath a short articulation set with two more old cushion cut diamonds, the stones crimp or millegrain collet set in white metal, tests for silver, on yellow metal tests for gold, the back of each earring with a cartouche hand-engraved either '17' or '18' (implying that these were once part of a larger piece, possibly a graduated fringe necklace); to later screw-back fittings stamped 'Sterling Silver'; length 3.6cm
