Pretty late Biedermeier earrings with onyx inlays, crafted from 585 / 14 carat yellow gold (hallmarked and guaranteed).
The drop earrings consist of simple settings, each featuring a round onyx button, from which freely moving, teardrop-shaped, relief-decorated, detachable elements hang; each of these features a polished onyx inlay in the centre with a delicate star motif. The versatility of these earrings is particularly appealing: the teardrop-shaped pendants can be removed, allowing the round onyx buttons to be worn on their own – in a very simple style.
These charming earrings were created around 1880 during the Late Biedermeier period and combine historical design with timeless elegance. Thanks to their classic design, the pair is ideal for wearing with traditional costume and dirndls, yet also harmonises perfectly with classic styles.
