Antique GEORGIAN CORAL chandelier earrings

Unavailable
What a rare treat these genuine coral earrings are!! To know they are well over 200 years old is amazing in itself, but to see the detail of the coral florettes and the hand wrought metal work is truly exciting! Jewelry from that period is not machine made, so you see how creative the jeweler was that made these and formed the beautiful chandeliers of hanging flowers. I was told these are sentimental flowers ( I think I remember them being called onion flowers) which were used as symbols on lockets and headstones. THese measure 2" long from top of wire to bottom of the mesh tassels. THe coral is a deeper red and is all hand carved.
