Antique Earrings 18k Gold Platinum Diamonds French Sleepers Old Jewelry Box6878
Antique dormeuse earrings / sleepers. 18k gold, platinum and Old European cut diamonds.

Measurements: Weight is 3.2 grams. Length is a little over 1/2 inch (1.5cm). Small diamonds are approximately 8pts and larger diamonds somewhere between 20-25 pts. Description : Small (see dimentions above) earrings that can be worn and never removed as they are so comfortable.

Hence the name'sleepers' and in French,'dormeuse'. Curved gold wires are easy to insert and wear in the ear.

Main body of mounts are yellow gold, but deep horse-shoe/U-shaped prongs are made of platinum, a superior solution to silver which was commonly used to set off diamonds in gas light at the time. The upper diamond/surmount is much smaller, but identically set to the larger Old European cut diamond beneath it. Effect of a pair of flowers - very pretty, light and airy. Behind the larger/bottom stone is a hinged catch for the wire, holding it securely in place.

Comes in an original, old/antique box of leather with pale gold/yellow velvet lining and gold embossed design on the borders. Small size is suitable for wearing every day or for a young girl. Marks and Metal: French owl mark and bearded man. Indicate 18k gold of unknown origin and platinum.
