Austro-Hungarian Victorian 14K & Silver Diamond Articulated Earrings

Description

I do not often find Austro-Hungarian pieces in gold with diamonds. These earrings are just that. They are hallmarked with the Fox head (4) dating them from 1872-1922 indicating they are crafted from 14K gold. The sleeper backing are hallmarked. The back of the earrings are also in 14K. The front of the earrings are in 800 silver. They are a lovely pair of articulated earrings. The backings are soldered to the tops. Suspended is a large drop with a scalloped edge. In each scallop are rose cut diamonds and hand etch work. Th scalloped drop then suspends an additional solid drop with a scalloped edge to match other outer. This middle drop is adorned with additional rose cut diamonds with a larger rose cut diamond in the center. These diamonds are all bead prong set or collette set in silver with closed backs. One might think they are of the Gerogian but hallmarks definitely indicate Victorian. These earrings are presented in excellent condition with no damage or noted diamond replacements, all original.....
