Great Antique French Gold  Paste Earrings
I rarely get this form of earring in inventory, but just in from Paris, are these spectacular paste earrings. This very desirable form is a solitaire with a tiny paste accent stone on the top. Each paste is set in silver, hand crimped collets just as the diamonds were set in this period. They are 19th century back to front gold fittings that are a very pale rose gold. The earrings measure 3/4 inches long x slightly less than 1/2 inches wide. The large stones are a cushion shaped rose cut. The stones are beautifully faceted and very white and bright. They have a French poincon, an eagle's head indicating 18k, and a boars head for sterling on the ear wires. Lovely and in excellent condition. France, circa 1890.
