Vintage 9CT Gold Pearl Crown Screwback Earrings

A pair of vintage gold and seed pearl nautical crown sweetheart earrings. Beautifully made and top notch quality, the crowns are cleverly designed to reflect ships' masts and sails - originally such items were given by servicemen of the Royal Navy and Merchant Services Naval Crown to their sweethearts and wives before they went overseas to war.

The earrings are in excellent vintage condition, the pearls have a lovely shining nacre and the screwbacks work perfectly.

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!
