Description
Pretty historical dormeuse earrings with diamond roses, crafted from red gold 585/14 ct (tested and guaranteed).
A sparkling diamond rose of ca. 0.1 carat (H-I, SI1- SI2) sits on each of the stable hinged hoop earrings in red gold, typical of the period. The delicate prong settings allow light to reach the diamonds from all sides and make the beautiful stones shine even brighter.
The name of the earrings goes back to the French verb "dormir" (= to sleep): small earrings that sit close to the earlobe should also be able to be worn while sleeping. Towards the end of the 19th century in particular, people abandoned long, pompous ear jewellery in favour of more discreet jewels such as dormeuse earrings.
These enchanting earrings were created in Munich around 1900 and can be combined in a variety of ways thanks to their discreet design.
Dimensions of the earrings (incl. hoop): 1.2 x 0.5 cm.
Diameter of the diamond roses: ca. 3.3 mm, in total ca. 0.2 ct (H-I, SI1- SI2).
Total weight: 2.2 grams.
Condition: Very nice historical condition, freshly cleaned, see photos.
You will receive the earrings lovingly packaged in one of our pretty cases and with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note: Vintage or antique jewellery items are worn objects that may show slight signs of wear due to their history.
