Antique Drop Earrings, Citrines in Silver c1840-60

What can be totally smashing and quietly understated at the same time?  Not much, aside from this exquisite pair of antique earrings.  They have that Show-Stopper quality, with ornate applied decoration and set with bright natural citrines.  Despite the elaborate design and sparkling parts, these earrings are dignified, almost serene.  I think that’s what makes them understatedly outstanding – they were created with such meticulous care, they are grace and charm personified. 

In beautiful condition ~ anxious to be worn once again.  Only the slightest signs of anticipated wear ~ one stone may have been reset; it is a bit sunken. The wires were  repaired sometime in the past.   The earrings date to c1840-70.  54 mm long and about 15.0 grams in weight.  They will be delivered to you in a proper gift box, with free USA shipping and insurance.
