It is rare for earrings from this era to have survived to this day. It is also rare to find fine natural pearls that have developed without any human intervention. These earrings are therefore exceptional in more than one way. The certificate from the L.F.G laboratory in Paris attests to this particularity in their formation. They have an astonishing, unconventional shape, which gives them a great deal of charm. The pretty foliate motifs applied to them in silver and gold set them off beautifully. Because no natural pearl is the same, you have here absolutely unique earrings, fashioned around a rare natural material.
Diamonds are old-cut. They are old and have suffered some of the ravages of time. Otherwise, overall, the earrings are in very good condition.
