These earrings look fabulous, large and sparkly golden chandeliers. They are unbelievably beautiful in design and execution, in impressive good shape for their almost 200 years old age. I have for your attention a rare and beautiful pair of late Georgian earrings. After a serious search on Georgian jewelry, especially earrings which are hard to come across nowadays, I figured out that my earrings date back more than 180 years ago and their provenance is more than likely Spanish or Portuguese. These "girandole" or "chandelier" earrings are crafted in gilded silver, wrought by hand, covered with high karat gold that survived exceptionally over the last two centuries. Checking the edges of the leafy sections, under magnification you can see the hand cut silver. The earrings are composed of five sections linked together on three levels, through hand made 2 mm - 2.5 mm wide, round, large bales. They have a gracious movement when worn. Each section is adorned with foiled back white pastes, all set in closed back gilded silver collets. The silver was acid tested OK for sterling silver. Their condition is almost perfect in the sense that the gilt has an imperceptible patina of age that you barely can see in the pictures. That patina adds up more to their charm. The original ear wires have been replaced with screw backs and you can see old traces of the original ear wires on the back of the earrings (some dark marks on the back of the top section - on my pictures). I suppose that the original ear wires were hidden behind the top leaves. Measurements of the earrings are: 68 mm ( 2 3/4") long x 40 mm ( 1 1/2") wide. Weight of the earrings is 17 grams. Condition is beautiful antique, ready to wear.
