Pair of gold earrings with emeralds, pearls and glass paste
A small square frame in lightly moulded gold leaf is cut in its centre to have a protruding emerald pearl held by a small gold wire welded to the frame. A system of small fasteners in narrow gold bands holds another elongated element in the form of a diamond with bifid ends below this square plate, slightly extending beyond the width of the square plate. Next come three parallel pendants made up of small square gold bats garnished with glass pastes to which are welded three gold granules with suspension wire holding two emerald prisms framing a pearl.
On the reverse, small gold bands are arranged in a cross, thus strengthening the solidity of the assembly and allowing the attachment of the folded rod which serves as a suspension hook.
