Pair of Silver-Topped Gold and Diamond Earclips

[ 黃金鍍銀鑲鑽石耳環一對]


Designed as flowers with cascading filaments, set throughout with old mine-cut diamonds, accented by rose-cut diamonds, with Austrian hallmarks, four small diamonds missing; circa 19th century with later modifications.

Sotheby's London, June 13, 2003, Antique Jewels, lot 179.
The style of these earclips is remarkably similar to two from a set of three brooches worn by Princess Beatrice of Great Britain (1857-1944) for the coronation of George V and Mary in 1911.
