Exotic jeweled antique earrings. High end Chinese export pieces and date to the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. Feature three stacked east west set glowing glassy orange cabochon gemstones. The gems test to be nephrite. Fine grade with a warm internal glow. Very fine gauged applied designs include twisted rope borders and Etruscan style balls. Clip on backs so most anyone should be able to wear these – pierced ears or not. Comes in the original box that is topped with a classic oriental or asian pattern – feels like it could be silk on the outside and has the look of grosgrain satin on the off white inside. It has some old hand written numbers on the bottom. Very minor wear and discoloration on the box only and earring are in great vintage condition with no damage or quirks to mention. Rich original old patina. A rare find in an excellent state of preservation. Ready and waiting for your ears, collection, or gift giving – you will love these!

MARKS : SILVER stamped on the insides of the clip back hardware. WEIGHT : Earrings together weigh 8.7 grams on my scale – not including the box. CONDITION : Great vintage condition – no quirks or damage to mention concerning the earrings at all. The stones are all intact and completely free from chips, crazing, wear, cracks, nicks, etc. And clip backs in good working order. The box has some negligible wear, discoloration, etc one would expect of a box over 100 years old. Nothing glaring or out of the. View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren’t considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting.
