1870s Gold and Enamel Star Pendant Earrings

Offered by: Macklowe Gallery, Ltd

Description
These pendant earrings in 14K gold, enamel and diamond were created in the 1870s, possibly in England. Each flexible multi-tiered form is designed as an oval top suspending an elongated elliptical form with ball and wirework accents framing a flexibly-set spherule and ovoid pendant with blue tracery enamel star centering a rose-cut diamond highlight. Delightfully lightweight, these intriguing antique earrings are animated by the gentle motion of their multiple independently moving parts and layers of complex interlocking shapes that intrigue the eye.
