Antique Victorian Dangle Earrings with Rhodolite Garnets and Floral Design

These breathtaking antique French pendant earrings were created in the second half of the 19th century, circa 1880.

The top "sleeper" portion features a flat cut garnet which measures three mm across and centers a beautifully crafted floral design. The matching bottom dangle is centered by a garnet measuring four mm across. The garnets are a very beautiful purplish red. The earrings are finished with a practical shepherd's hook which make putting them in and taking them out very easy. Most earrings from this era feature a more complicated lever-back closure which goes through the back of the ear and attaches at the top, so this is a practical deviation.

CONDITION NOTES:
The earrings are in very good antique condition with light micro-scratches from age and use. There are two conchoidal fractures on the sleeper portion of one of the earrings, not visible when worn.
