Pair of gold earrings with garnet, emeralds and pearls
The upper circular part is a wreath of openwork palms. The centre is occupied by a pearl passed over a small gold wire welded to the internal diameter of the crown. On one of the pieces of jewellery, the broken pearl reveals the golden thread. On the reverse, narrow gold bands arranged in a cross shape serve as an armature for the perforated disc, thus allowing the suspension hook to be fixed. A ring and a hook connect this upper crown to a system of mobile pendants. To a square box arranged on the point and garnished with a garnet cut in a pyramid, are fixed three small pendants, a central emerald framed by two pearls, all maintained by small gold threads folded on themselves at the base of the pendants.
Technical details are the same for each of them.
