18K Lucky Shamrock Earrings, Antique French Belle Epoque Sleeper Earrings, Dormeuse

Step into the realm of vintage charm with these lucky shamrock earrings, a delightful treasure from France created during the very early 20th century. Crafted from high quality 18K yellow gold, the earrings are hallmarked with a horse head, a rare hallmark in in use from 1838 to 1919.

Designed with meticulous craftsmanship, these earrings take the shape of a dainty shamrock, a symbol of luck and good fortune. Perfectly suited for small ears, these earrings are small, lightweight, and thoughtfully made to ensure a comfortable fit throughout the day. The closure takes some getting used to as the hinges thread through the back of the ears and attach to a rivet at the top of the earring. The hinges are thinner than a modern hinge and it can take some practice attaching them. I recommend using the dominant hand and attaching them in front of a mirror. Once you get the hang of putting the earrings in they hold securely and the hinges are a testament to the sturdy construction of these timeless pieces. Their strength and secure connection speak to their enduring quality.

Treasure these small marvels as they whisper tales of history and craftsmanship, resonating with the essence of timeless elegance.
