Created from solid 18K gold before the advent of modern tools, these earrings stand as a testament to a level of detail that is truly a rarity in today's world. The hallmarks on the piece are in excellent condition and it's possible to trace their creation to Joseph Balme, a Paris jeweler in operation between 1905-1909, located close to Place de la Republique. This is in line with the horse head hallmark, a hallmark in use from 1838-1919. The early lever-back closure can be a little difficult to get used to at first as the hinge threads through the back of the ear and attaches to the rivet at the top.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONDITION NOTES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hinges are strong and the earrings are in good condition with micro-scratches to the gold.
