Description

These delicate and dainty earrings date from the turn of the century before last. The small pair is crafted from gold, which shimmers with a particularly rich and warm luster thanks to an additional layer of fine gold. Beneath the simple ear hooks, they feature circular decorative elements with a shield-shaped curved center section. Here we see a small fly engraved on each, set with a red glass cabochon and two small natural pearls. Flies and other insects appear in numerous jewelry designs of this period and were part of what was known as “novelty jewelry.” According to the hallmark, this well-preserved pair was made in Austria-Hungary between 1872 and 1922. We date the pair to the turn of the century, c. 1900. These charming earrings found their way to us from Bonn.
