Description
Very rare Austrian Jett earrings with hinged hoop bristles in yellow gold 585 / 14 Kt (stamped and guaranteed).
The fancy earrings are each set with a round jett bouton. Jett, also called gagat, is a fossil wood and found its admiration in the art of jewellery for centuries until its heyday in the 19th century. Its velvety sheen has a particularly distinguished and elegant effect and led to its versatile use in jewellery design, including mourning jewellery.
These particularly well-preserved earrings come from Austria and were made around 1860.
Dimensions of the earrings: 1,7 x 1,0 cm.
Diameter of the jet boutons: ca. 1,0 cm
Weight: 2,2 grammes in total.
Condition: Wonderful historical condition, freshly cleaned, see photos.
You will receive the earrings lovingly packaged in one of our high quality cases and with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note: Vintage or antique jewelry are worn items that may show slight signs of wear due to their history.
