These little Victorian cherubs are lovely and crisp and rendered in gold of an unmistakably rich high-carat colour.
• Condition: The posts have been soldered a little clumsily (almost certainly converted long ago from buttons) but the earrings are in excellent antique condition.
• Fixing: Nine-carat gold butterflies.
• Hallmarks/stamps: Each earring bears a 15CT plaque on the reverse and has been tested to confirm it is 15-carat gold. Fifteen-carat gold pieces are not overly common (in the UK only really used between 1854 and 1932) and this metal fineness was generally used in high quality pieces.
• Era: Victorian.
• Size: 1.4cm diameter.
• Weight: 4.3g.
PLEASE NOTE! All items are vintage or antique and as such show light general wear appropriate to their age. Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing - and do ask if you have any questions!
