The earrings are light on the ears and gracefully articulate. The birds face each other as the should, framing the face. They measure 1 1/2 inches from the top of the wire X approx. 1/2 inches across. The condition is excellent. The agate beads are approximately 11mm and are well matched. There is a tiny chip in the back of one banded agate bead, not seen from the front and invisible on the ear. The patina is rich and beautiful, and the earrings are a wonderful addition to any antique jewelry collection. English,circa 1880.
