The listing, Medieval Gold and Red Gem Earrings has ended.
These dainty medieval-looking antique earrings are absolutely stunning, and feature screw backs, a central red stone, and 4 tiny white gems at each cross point. As I do not see any markings on these earrings, I assume they are rhinestones, but it is possible that they may be real gems. The earrings are in excellent condition and would make an excellent gift!
All reasonable GINs considered; just email me!
Questions & Comments
Pretty! They appear "large" in the pictures? About how big are they? Thanks!
They are actually quite small as you can see in the pic with my fingers. I do not have them in front of me, but I would guess from end to end is approx. 3/4 inch. Their size is what makes them so beautiful, I think, though, as they are surprisingly detailed!
They are beautiful. The pictures up close show the incredible detail! Then I saw screw-backs which I guess are not pierced! Haha but these are just about too pretty to pass up:) Watching!
Thanks for your interest! I think a good jeweler can easily switch these from screw-back to post, if you so desire it. Just takes a quick soldering job!
You know, I did not even think of that, Thanks! I was thinking of something like a Pendant?! I love unique just one-of-kind pieces of jewelry, such as these. To me it is definitely like looking at a painting I love , another form of art. Obviously I have never attempted to create jewelry like so many others I see on Listia! I do not have a clue how they would be "incorporated" into a pendant or used on a bracelet. Probably due to their size, your idea makes a lot more sense, than mine! Thanks! Sometimes when I see something that "catches my eye" I come back & look at it again & again. They are just truly beautiful, thanks again!
Yeah, I hear you... I am always thinking about how things can be repurposed as well. I made an unusual button from my grandmother into a pendant a few years back. And these earrings are really cool... especially if you like medieval/renaissance/victorian style pieces.
