THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT ~
Type: Earrings
Materials: 18k Gold, Ruby, Sapphire, CZ
Era: Vintage
ABOUT:
Interesting and dainty hoop earrings with three little gemstones for color - a red ruby, a white cubic zirconia and a blue sapphire. Perhaps to represent the French flag but incidentally the colors of ours as well!
These have a little hinge on one end and the ear wire is inserted into the gold tube of the hoop to secure them. It is just done with tension where you pull the two sides apart to feed the wire in and they are secure to wear. Subtle, minimailst color and sparkle.
I can't decipher the tiny hallmarks on the loop but they were sold to me as 18k and tested to confirm. Antique box not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
Antique box not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
They measure about 16mm top to bottom, the stones are each about 1.5-2mm. The pair weighs a dainty 0.8g combined.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
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! : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
