Napoleon III Style Stud Earrings With Citrine, Fine Pearls & Removable Amethysts

Pair of drop earrings, made up of several detachable elements: a pair of buttons decorated with faceted citrines all around their perimeter, mounted like studs, in the center of which are two fine pearls. These stud earrings are representative of a piece of jewelry from the Napoleon III era. They are mounted as "prongs," for pierced ears, with an alpa-type clasp in its older version (creating an interesting pyramid-shaped facet). Later, two pendants adorned with amethysts were added, a material entirely consistent with the Napoleon III period, but likely of more recent manufacture. These amethysts are simply set, their edges closed by a wire, at the end of a removable curb chain within the citrine studs. The round aesthetic is omnipresent, through the citrine studs, the round wire setting of the amethysts, and the curb chain with its round links. The overall aesthetic is based on the effect of lightness: the transparency of the citrines and the suspended amethysts, the airy curb chain, the very discreet gold setting, and the great mobility of the whole. The citrines bring to They alone, through their color and crystallization, as well as the faceting of their edges, bring a great deal of light to the face. Estimated total weight of the amethysts: 7.80 ct. Total gross weight: 5.37 g. Condition: imperceptible micro-scratches on the gold parts, natural inclusions and characteristic areas in the colored stones. Please note: amethysts, being natural materials, exhibit different color nuances, which are not noticeable when worn since they are only visible when placed close together. The citrines are particularly clear and crystalline. Payment can be made entirely remotely via the website. We remain at your disposal for any information regarding other payment methods.
