Antique Ivy Creole Hoop Poissardes Earrings, Vintage French Petite Earrings

Antique Ivy Creole Hoop Poissardes Earrings, Vintage French Petite Earrings

This lovely petite pair of earrings was crafted in the late 19th century. Interestingly, they have many deign elements of a poissarde earrings but the round shape of a creole. The combination makes for a unique and timeless statement piece. Crafted from green gold, the leaves on the earrings are beautifully crafted and detailed to look realistic. At the top a little tendril of vine curls around the top of the earring. Ivy and vines in Victorian jewelry carried the symbolic message, "I cling to thee", making these a romantic and whimsical choice for a gift.

CONDITION NOTES:
The earrings are in very good antique condition with hinges that are strong and closures that snap into a little rivet at the top for a secure hold. The earrings thread through the back of the ears and attach in the front, which can take some getting used. I recommend using a mirror and your dominant hand when latching them. There is a small dent to the bottom of one hoop and light micro-scratches from age and use.
