BOWS Antique Clear One Carat Old Transitional Cut White TOPAZ Dangle Earrings 18k Gold Solid Figural Ornate Bright and Sparkly
Couldn't load pickup availability
I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world. Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!
ABOUT:
Fun figural dangle earrings, each set with clear/ white topaz meant to look like diamonds but without the price. The stud portion has an ear post and a hinged latch back with a linear base for stability to keep the dangle facing forward. The sweet little bow design and the larger white topaz are attached by loop so that part can move independently to catch the light and dangle.
The bottom topaz are set in a prong setting with a ruffly scalloped outline in glowing yellow gold that resembles a flower head. The stones are old transitional cuts with pinwheel type faceting and frosted girdles customary for the period. There are little rose cuts set into the bows of each.
The earrings have a latch back that is nice and springy to secure the ear posts onto the ear.
Faint hallmark to the latch back of each but I can't decipher it. But clearly solid gold testing at 18k which was the norm for Spain where I purchased them.
Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
They measure about 19.5mm top to bottom by 9.3mm at the widest by the bow.
They weigh 2.6g combined.
The larger topaz are about 4.6mm each. The smaller about 2.8 with four little rose cuts on the bows of each that are very small. About one carat total weight in gems.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
The latch backs are very strong and secure. There is a worn prong here or there but none of the stones move. There looks to be a bit of residue around one of the tiny rose cuts under magnification but it is not on the stone. Might have had a bit of adhesive to secure that one but it is not eye visible. One of the larger topaz has two small nibbles not seen by the eye. Pretty little things!
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I enjoy making my customers happy and matching unique pieces with new homes. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! It means a lot to me that you are visiting my shop! : )
